I have run into a few cases where I have to make a change to a running service (e.g., iptables and BIND) using a command line tool (iptables, nsupdate). This case is different from the more normal (for me): change config file, upload changed file, restart or reload service. Changing a running service using a special tool to insert deltas means I begin collecting small changes almost like a version control system. Making these small changes in Ansible is easy. What I'm struggling with is how best to manage this use case in a formal way with Ansible.
I'd like to hear how other Anisble users are addressing this. How do you keep everything consistent when you have a conf file and you are making small direct changes (named.conf vs nsupdate)? What kind of playbook do you use for nsupdate like changes? Thanks, Aaron -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
