With my limited knowledge about the extensions (just had a quick look about the ExtensionManager), I think if you put the extension jar under repo/ directory and start the AsterixDB instance with the right configuration (with extension). The extensions will be automatically picked up.
If that’s the case, you can easily deploy the jar package using Ansible. As @Yingyi mentioned, it’s similar to udf.sh under opt/ansible/bin/.
