This book is your concise guide to Ansible, the simple way to automate apps
|
||
|
|
and IT infrastructure. In less than 250 pages, this book takes you from
|
||
|
|
knowing nothing about configuration management to understanding how to use
|
||
|
|
Ansible in a professional setting.</p>

<p>It's kinda hard to put a review on this. I mean, yes, it takes you from the
|
||
|
|
basics of Ansible, explaining how to build a playbook, split things into
|
||
|
|
roles, adding triggers... the normal Ansible stuff.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The problem lies on the Python part. Ansible is built on top of Python and the
|
||
|
|
book mentions the current version of Python: 2.6. Problem is, Python 2.6 was
|
||
|
|
released in 2008 and the 2.x series in unsupported at this point. Surely, it's
|
||
|
|
a matter of time for this kind of stuff to happen, but still...</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Also, it seems the author didn't really know Python. The last part, when
|
||
|
|
talking about building your own Ansible module, it uses the long version to
|
||
|
|
build dictionaries, <code>dict(key=value)</code>, instead of the classic and short
|
||
|
|
<code>{'key': value}</code>. There is no explanation why use this version instead.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Sure, at this point, it helps beginners with Ansible, but I'm not quite sure
|
||
|
|
if the "Pro" part still holds up.</p>
