Hello Dick Thanks for your response. Looks like you are referring to CloudFormation, but what I was asking is about a tool within CloudFormation which helps you to generate a template capturing all the resources from your existing infrastructure in JSON format, it is *CloudFormer*.
Later this template can be used to create a CloudFormation stack and spin up a new environment, kind of a replica but with some tweaking to suit the target landscape. To keep it simple, I just want to know if Ansible has the capability to capture an existing Dev environment and help us automate the deployment of a similar QA environment, with some parameter and configuration changes. Appreciate your response. thanks Sreekanth On Monday, July 24, 2017 at 4:44:05 PM UTC-4, Dick Visser wrote: > > There is: > http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/cloudformation_module.html > > On 24 July 2017 at 21:17, Sreekanth Kannan <[email protected] > <javascript:>> wrote: > > Hello > > > > I have a need and I am trying to find if there is a module in Ansible > that > > could help me with it.
