ansible role/playbook

[odra]

Hello,
Is there an ansible role and playbook to run the installation instead of running a bash script? If not, is there some kind of interest in one?

Hi, no, we currently don't have one and it might migh be interesting evaluating one!

Thanks for the idea, but please hold on for a minute.

I'm currently changing the script which becomes only a thin wrapper is only a thin wrapper for installing the operator, so actually its more or less only about applying a DC to install the operator and the CRD itself. In the next release this will even change more when we jump to the Operator Lifecycle Manager for managing the CRD and operator.

So (and tbh), I don't see really a value of Ansible at that point, as it increase the requirements on the user side (bash is there all the time).

However, I could imagine that the operator itself uses Ansible for building up Syndesis, so the operator would then call Ansible after it has been applied.

Makes sense - using an operator does remove the need of an ansible playbook/role.

Do you think it makes sense to run an ansible script from the operator? I was taking a look ate the bash script and it looks to be simple enough to be "scripted" into the operator.

Another alternative would be to make this ansible script an apb and then provision a service instance from the operator.
