Ansible ======= Ansible is a radically simple configuration-management, deployment, task-execution, and multinode orchestration framework. Read the documentation and more at http://ansibleworks.com/ Many users run straight from the development branch (it's generally fine to do so), but you might also wish to consume a release. You can find instructions [here](http://ansibleworks.com/docs/intro_getting_started.html) for a variety of platforms. If you want a tarball of the last release, go to http://ansibleworks.com/releases/ and you can also install with pip. Design Principles ================= * Dead simple setup * Super fast & parallel by default * No server or client daemons; use existing SSHd * No additional software required on client boxes * Modules can be written in ANY language * Awesome API for creating very powerful distributed scripts * Be usable as non-root * The easiest config management system to use, ever. Get Involved ============ * Read [Contributing.md](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/CONTRIBUTING.md) for all kinds of ways to contribute to and interact with the project, including mailing list information and how to submit bug reports and code to Ansible. * irc.freenode.net: #ansible Branch Info =========== * Releases are named after Van Halen songs. * The devel branch corresponds to the release actively under development. * Various release-X.Y branches exist for previous releases * We'd love to have your contributions, read "CONTRIBUTING.md" for process notes.
