Ansible, virsh

some six hours reading, reading, reading:

  1. The entire Ansible Introduction chapter.

    Yet another framework, sigh. Double sigh, because anything discussed in this intro section can be could be with trivial shell one-liners. (I have done that before.)

    At least Ansible's documentation is well done, the scope of the tool is clearly defined and well chosen, and the resulting command set appears to be clean and consistent.

    I'll have have to see how playbooks turn out as a medium between deleopers and admins. That's why I'm currently looking at Ansible in first place.

  2. virsh(1), virt-image(1), virt-image(5), virt-install(1).

    After migration of the hackett VM from one (proxmox) host to an ordinary libvirt-based one, VNC-based console access was lost. Lot's of man-page reading just to get that back. What a waste of time for a seamingly simple change of a command argument. Ah, the wonders of XMLification!
