<br>
I'd like to discuss one idea that came to me while trying to use the ansible deploy in TripleO.<br>
<br>
The ansible deploy interface is all about customization. Meaning, we expect people to modify the playbooks. I have two concerns with it:<br>
<br>
1. Nearly any additions requires a full copy of the playbooks. Which will make the operators miss any future updates to the shipped version (e.g. from packages).<br>
<br>
2. We require operators to modify playbooks on the hard drive in a location, available to ironic-conductor. This is inconvenient when there are many conductors and quite hairy with containers.<br>
<br>
So, what came to my mind is:<br>
<br>
1. Let us maybe define some hook points in our playbooks and allow operators to overwrite only them? I'm not sure how it's going to look, so suggestions are welcome.<br>
<br>
2. Let us maybe allow a swift or http(s) URL for the playbooks_path configuration? That will be a link to a tarball that will be unpacked by ironic to a temporary location before executing.<br>
<br>
What do you think?<br>
