Ansible role for creating DigitalOcean droplets, with an emphasis on sane defaults for parameters.
The motivation for this role was frustration around the fact that Ansible doesn't provide a method for declaring default variables to modules. Without default variables, every module invocation is unnecessarily verbose:
- name: create digitalocean droplet
digital_ocean:
command: droplet
state: present
name: testbox
unique_name: true
size_id: 512mb
region_id: sfo1
# Debian 8 64-bit has slug "debian-8-x64" and id "14169880"
image_id: "14169880"
private_networking: true
api_token: "{{ digitalocean_api_token }}"
ssh_key_ids: "{{ digitalocean_ssh_key_ids | join(',') }}"
The only new variable in the above block is name: testbox.
All other variables should reference defaults. Using a role
as a surrogate module makes referencing default variables possible.
- name: create digitalocean droplet
hosts: localhost
roles:
- { role: create-droplet,
droplet_name: testbox,
}
Ah, that's better!
