This file gives an overview of the different types in hotomata and how they
interract together.
A machine that can be contacted by one of the runners (defaults to SSH) so that, in term, commands are ran on it.
A list of groups of machines in JSON format. This file describes the
available machines than would later be targeted by masterfile directives.
For more more information: Inventory file
For more more information: Masterplan file
In the end, the base primitive is a shell command, a string. All plans are is a collection of commands often templated with vars given to it. You can see any plan as tree with multiple branches which all end up in leading to leafs, in our case command to run over SSH, locally or elsewhere
A file is located in the files folder in the same directory as the masterplan
and can be used with different commands, they can be templated and often end up
uploaded on remote machines.
A varfile is a file containing variables in a yaml format and it can be
included in masterfiles directives.
Often, the goal of having those in a separate file is the ability to encrypt
this file independently. hotomata will have helper to make this seamless.
It is very much inspired by Ansible Vault utility.
