I spent some time over the weekend to bring the ansible-pcd project up to 
date and am excited to share it with the community!

https://github.com/iceburg-net/ansible-pcd

ansible-pcd provides a set of roles and standard conveniences with the 
following goals;

* encourage flexible, convenient, and reusable automation components
* drastically reduce execution time by visiting only necessary tasks
* support multiple distributions (Debian, RedHat, &c)
* remain simple, intuitive, and community friendly
* avoid redundancy, be maintainable

roles following the pcd standard tag tasks as either prepare, configure, or 
deploy.

* prepare: typically run one time per host (e.g. create user)
* configure: run whenever configuration changes (e.g. update httpd port)
* deploy: run on site/application releases 

the organization within the ansible-pcd framework makes it suitable for 
extremely large installments.

* roles are categorized into systems, services, and applications.

ansible-pcd currently provides an ansible-managed "webhost in a box"

# current functionality 

* YAML website definitions - see 
https://github.com/iceburg-net/ansible-pcd/tree/master/sites
  * git based sites (shallow clone during deployment), multiple branch 
support.
  * conveniences for;
    * mysql user + database creation
    * awstats integration
    * wordpress/silverstripe/&c rewrites
    * backups (e.g. asset/upload folder(s) > cloud storage)  
* nullmailer MTA replacement
* remote/cloud backups via s3ql
* provisioning hosts with a consistent environment 

I currently only support Debian-7 but will hopefully add more roles and 
distribution support as time goes by && if there's interest will add to 
galaxy.

John's slides on using ansible at edX served as a powerful inspiration to 
get started again... and my thanks go to him.

Happy memorial day weekend to those in the US.
