Provides enterprise-grade Ansible orchestration with containerized Execution Environments and structured JSON telemetry.

Provides enterprise-grade Ansible orchestration with containerized Execution Environments.

Key Features

• Namespace Files Support: Load playbooks, roles, and inventories seamlessly from Kestra's internal storage directly into the Execution Environment.
• No UI Log Bloat: Streams a configurable number of logs live to the Kestra UI and saves the complete execution log as an internal storage file, avoiding massive unreadable logs on large playbooks.
• Structured Telemetry: Parses Ansible job events in real-time, delivering a compact JSON telemetry report with host-by-host statistics and exact failure extraction.
• Auto-dependency Management: Can automatically run ansible-galaxy install and pip install based on requirements files in your project directory.

Execution Flow

1. The task provisions an ephemeral /runner/ directory tree.
2. The playbook, inventory, and variables are mounted securely into the layout.
3. The chosen TaskRunner (e.g., Docker) executes ansible-runner run.
4. Telemetry is parsed, and the artifacts are cleaned up safely.
