Ansible
=======
Ansible is a radically simple configuration-management, deployment, task-execution, and
multinode orchestration framework.
Read the documentation and more at http://ansibleworks.com/
Many users run straight from the development branch (it's generally fine to do so), but you might also wish to consume a release. You can find
instructions [here](on http://ansibleworks.com/docs/intro_getting_started.html) for a variety of platforms. If you want a tarball of the last release, go to
http://ansibleworks.com/releases/ and you can also install with pip.
Design Principles
=================
* Dead simple setup
* Super fast & parallel by default
* No server or client daemons; use existing SSHd
* No additional software required on client boxes
* Modules can be written in ANY language
* Awesome API for creating very powerful distributed scripts
* Be usable as non-root
* The easiest config management system to use, ever.
Get Involved
============
* Read [Contributing.md](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/CONTRIBUTING.md) for all kinds of ways to contribute to and interact with the project, including mailing list information and how to submit bug reports and code to Ansible.
* irc.freenode.net: #ansible
Branch Info
===========
* Releases are named after Van Halen songs.
* The devel branch corresponds to the release actively under development.
* Various release-X.Y branches exist for previous releases
* We'd love to have your contributions, read "CONTRIBUTING.md" for process notes.
