Ansible has a great module/plugin system. It's trivial to handle complex tasks or computations in a custom module or action.

- awesomeMilou 3y agoSo why is there this massive ecosystem around not writing modules then? RedHat invented automation controller just so they didn't have to implement proper error handling with Ansible.
- linuxftw 3y agoThe 'not writing modules' approach is for people that aren't comfortable writing code. I think most capable users for non-trivial things should write custom modules a lot of the time.
- Draiken 3y agoThat's not how Ansible is meant to be used by default though. Modules are, in general, meant to be generic. I bet you if I started writing modules for everything in most companies, people would complain. Unfortunately defaults matter.
