I hope open sourcing Ansible Tower is still on the cards after it was promised at a conference shortly after acquisition.

I hope open sourcing Ansible Tower is still on the cards after it was promised at a conference shortly after acquisition.
- bovermyer 10y agoWe've found Rundeck to be a more flexible alternative to Ansible Tower, and Rundeck is open source: https://github.com/rundeck/rundeck https://github.com/rundeck/rundeck
- coredog64 10y agoNot to hijack the thread, but any pointers to good resources to sell mgmt on Rundeck? We're currently using Jenkins(!?) for role, something that enforces a divide where developers are allowed to automate, but operations isn't.
- acveilleux 10y agoI'm trying to parse your statement and I'm not sure if you want something to enforce that divide or if your complaint with Jenkins is that it enforces a divide between dev and ops?
- coredog64 10y agoSorry for not being clear. We're using Jenkins because it was the shortest path to a solution. It's not easy for non-devs to use, so I'd like something that is ops friendly and won't cause the devs to want to repeatedly bang their head on the desk.
- bovermyer 10y agoNot specifically Rundeck, no. I don't think anyone has written a blog post on that yet. Depending on how you're using Jenkins, Rundeck may not be a feature-for-feature replacement. You'll have to weigh Rundeck's feature set against your specific requirements.
- xorcist 10y agoWouldn't the obvious way forward be to open Jenkins for your ops? (That said, Rundeck is probably more straightforward use. You could trigger it from Jenkins.)
