Well, finally having had time to look more you are right. I was thinking there were some modules in openshift-ansible for managing apps, but there doesn't seem to be. However, there is: ansible-container that might be something we can leverage. > There is https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible but I think that > is just roles and playbooks for deploying an OpenShift cluster itself > (not for deploying apps inside the cluster). Right. Even though it actually says 'manage' it does not (yet?) have any way to manage apps. > I found this demo: > http://servicesblog.redhat.com/2016/08/11/automating-the-provisioning-and-configuration-of-red-hat-mobile-application-platform/ > but they are just invoking the oc command using Ansible's command > module.

Yeah. I think our best bet is to try and come up with some workflow around ansible-container. It currently also uses the oc commands in the end, but they are trying to move to the REST API from what I understand. I am not sure at all what this workflow might be, going to take more looking into it before I could even propose something. It looks like ansible-container builds images locally, which I'd like to avoid. They should be built in the openshift pipeline. Or if anyone sees any better ideas I am open to them. I do want to avoid clicky or cli deployments that need a human to remember everything they clicked or typed. If we have to redeploy entirely, we should be able to do so from ansible. Perhaps internal openshift folks have some thoughts here... kevin
