Note I can't speak to xcat-invenntory, but the upcoming confluent release has some definition of ansible integration.
In confluent 3.2, a deployment profile can have scripts executed directly on nodes (basically the same as postscripts): /var/lib/confluent/public/os/<profilename>/scripts/firstboot.d /var/lib/confluent/public/os/<profilename>/scripts/post.d Additionally, playbooks may be remotely triggered at points of the deployment: /var/lib/confluent/public/os/<profilename>/ansible/firstboot.d /var/lib/confluent/public/os/<profilename>/ansible/post.d The 'hosts' field will be specifically whatever node that enters that phase. The play will be executed as the confluent user on the deployment server, targeting the deploying server (with a separate automation user key that you must opt into, since confluent isn't allowed to read user's private keys). Also, if pertinent, the corresponding release of confluent genesis has enough python to be targeted by ansible plays. It has 'onboot' scripts and ansible plays supported. However, it's far more optional in confluent (emphasis on standby power discovery, PXE discovery if needed can be done during the PXE attempt, and the 'configbmc' script if needed should also work as 'pre.d' script for an installing system, to roll most genesis actions into the OS installers instead of requiring genesis to boot first. That is a specific interpretation of 'ansible support' and I welcome more requests (e.g. for confluent to provide facts and/or a module to use something in lieu of cmdline. ________________________________ From: James Goebel <jkgoe...@bu.edu> Sent: Friday, May 14, 2021 11:58 AM To: xcat-user@lists.sourceforge.net <xcat-user@lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: [External] [xcat-user] ability to integrate with Ansible (Coming soon) On the xcat-inventory github page there is the suggestion that Ansible integration is planned. Has there been any progress on this? https://github.com/xcat2/xcat-inventory
