The Sandwich Situation: Ansible Modules for the OpenStack SDK

on YouTube ↗30m

" summary

Ansible modules are implemented by calling the OpenStack SDK so provisioning is literally a playbook invoking modules like openstack.cloud.server and openstack.cloud.server_info; info modules are a two-liner that converts SDK generators to lists and returns JSON, action modules handle create/delete with optional wait (default true) and check mode. Examples include network/subnet/router/server provisioning and a volume backup module that waits for status or signals failure; modules package as the openstack.cloud collection.
