Hi, I'm trying to understand how Ansible's "idempotency" is achieved for e.g. apt-get updates.
For example: suppose I have X servers, fully provisioned some time ago, and now want to scale up to X+Y servers. The playbook includes an appeal to apt-get to update the packages. I add the Y servers to my inventory, and run ansible. Will the original X servers, with potentially outdated packages, be updated? Or will they now be out of sync with the new Y servers? My understanding would be the latter: that running the same playbook on the original servers would leave them unchanged. This would be consistent with the notion of idempotency, but might not be the desired 'outcome'.. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
