Easily Generating New Ansible Playbooks with a Python Script.
Due to the team continually starting new projects that have different stack requirements, we decided we decided to build a Python script that would read a configuration file that contained which OS (CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu), webserver (Apache or Nginx), database (MySQL, MariaDB) and PHP version (set to latest 7.x). The file also contains project hostname (local dev name only), IP address and local output path.
When the configuration file is run, it will create a full Ansible script in the output path will the correct playbooks for the chosen stack. The same scripts can be used to provision remote servers such as AWS EC2 instances. It really helps in getting the project started quickly.
The project can be found here: https://github.com/doublehops/ansible-builder
