Hi all,
I started this as an experiment but it might end up being useful.
https://github.com/wied03/ansible-ruby
The idea is (for those that like Ruby) to have a Ruby DSL that ultimately generates YML files for Ansible. This is partially based on the comment I read somewhere (I think) that the Ansible team considers YML a good serialization format (but is not necessarily ‘against’ other formats/languages outside the core product). I should add that this doesn’t try and change the way modules work or put Ruby on the managed hosts.
I’m not sure if anyone has experimented with this before in the Ansible world but if you have any feedback, do let me know.
