python Vs Ansible: server provisioning on vmware
by PoleStar from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5EVGC)
Hello,
I have to build a solution to deploy VM-hosts on vmware/VCenters.
VM-hosts will be ubuntu/centoOS. I am thinking between pyvmomi and ansible.
What ever solution I pick I have to use ansible post-deployment configurations.
So I am thinking why not use ansible for the deployment and configuration.
Also I am thinking to have templates for hosts on VCenter for easy copy function.
One problem I see is how to configure IP so I can use it with ansible after VM-hosts is deployed in VCenter.
Anyone has done such things recently ?
Any ideas.
Thank you
