Hey all,

Is there any support / module in ansible for creating auto-scalling groups within amazon? Or should I just use the shell command and invoke the AWS CLI?

Thanks, Tim

PS: I love ansible so far, its really great

Yep, I was very excited to see this!

We’re going to be making a strong push to close a lot of the cloud PRs in the coming week or two.

Awesome, thanks for the pointer.

When this stuff is merged will there be a milestone release or similar? Just trying to see when I could get a hold of this good stuff 🙂

I’m not a python guy, so I’m not sure if I’m missing something: perhaps there’s a way to try if out now?

Cheers

No, but lots of folks like to run straight off the development branch, and this helps us a ton with testing.

source ./hacking/env-setup from a checkout and you are off to the races, without installing.
