[kolla] Calling Kolla-ansible in an ansible playbook
Hi,
I've been trying to write an ansible-playbook to run some kolla tasks and I've been wondering if this is even possible? I have kolla running inside a virtual environment, so of course I'm running into issues having ansible running it. The current task looks like this:
- name: run kolla-ansible upgrade on controllers command: "{{ venv }}/bin/kolla-ansible --limit {{ item }} -i multinode upgrade" loop: - control - monitoring - storage
When run, it's complaining that ansible isn't installed in the current virtual environment. I was under the impression that specifying the whole path to my executable would have it automatically run in that virtual environment, but visibly this excludes access to ansible that's installed there.
So, basically, is what I'm trying to do even possible? And if so, what would be the best way to do it?
Use the shell module, then activate the virualenv first before running kolla-ansible.
However, I'd argue against running Ansible in Ansible. It can be had enough to read the output when troubleshooting, without nesting it. Kayobe intentionally avoided this, instead adding a python CLI that calls out to kayobe and kolla-ansible.

Thank you.
To be honest I'm only testing options right now, in part to satisfy our curiosity. I will keep your recommendation in mind though.
