Hi,

Would it be possible to pull the playbooks from some other source (like s3)? For me and may be a few other ansible users, who are not using git for SCM an alternative could be pushing playbook bundle to a cloud storage from CI builds.

There’s been some interest in getting this to support things like mercurial, so I’m definitely open to having something like a --repo-type and a --repo-options set of flags.

The other thing that will be useful and available very soon in AWX ( [http://www.ansibleworks.com/ansibleworks-awx/](http://www.ansibleworks.com/ansibleworks-awx/) ) is the configuration callback feature – which will allow nodes to simply request a URL via wget and say “please configure me” and they will go out and get configured automatically, which I think is a more elegant solution because it will still account for really good centralized logging.

(The first release of AWX is going to be available at the end of July)
