Hi Lasse,

You can take a look at /usr/bin/ansible and /usr/bin/ansible-playbook for examples of how these are used.

Basically some of the ‘single-action’ kind of things are runner callbacks, playbook callbacks are more associated to running the ansible playbook language and higher level things.

You can also see some example callbacks here: [https://github.com/ansible/ansible/tree/devel/plugins/callbacks](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/tree/devel/plugins/callbacks)

My favorite is the OS X Say plugin, which makes sound effects as you run your playbooks 🙂

I’m curious about what kind of application you are developing!

I am very curious too, since we are doing something that can be similar.

We are developing a small application that creates a cluster on a  
cloud (we are testing it with openstack, but we are using ec2 api) and  
configures it using ansible (and possibly other tools).  
So far, we are able to start/stop clusters and configure them using  
slurm, torque or gridengine. It also configures ganglia and exports  
home via NFS. It's still a prototype though.
