one-shot

adjective NORTH AMERICAN informal

"a one-shot deal"

The playbook takes the input from a csv file containing hosts and commands, and converts it into a host inventory file which is used to push config out on mass.

I'm working on not making the variables static, and converting this into a role, which can be downloaded in Galaxy.

Workflow:

• Verify Serial Number, hostname and Software type, and gracefully exit if this doesn't match.

• Push the change.

• Save when modified.

On the to do list:

• Run a show command on the thing you want to push, and exit if you match.
• Backup before you make a change, optional.
• Backup after the change is complete, optional. Most of the above will need to be broken out into roles, but that will come at a later date.

Example of how to run

This play is work in progress, so not all of the features are complete.
