Why not? You're the next devops :) I was used to use ovirt-shell (removed from 4.4), and instead of it I control now all my vms with ansible playbooks: - consultation with ovirt-*_inf with appropriate filters (combine , dict2items) and conditions (when, until) - interaction with other modules (with present/absent statement for all parameters) I precise I am not a developer but once I took the habit with a proper environment (venv, IDE, loops, structured playbook and roles, dict struct, etc..), I was able do what I want, or rather what the API let me do. Before begining, I should advice you to take the time to study the structure of the output of the registered variable Here is a piece of my commonly used playbooks to check status of wanted vms: - name: template ovirt pour tester les modules hosts: localhost connection: local tasks: - block: - include: ovirt_auth.yaml tags: auth,change - name: vm facts ovirt_vm_info: auth: "{{ ovirt_auth }}" pattern: "name=vm5 or name=vm8" register: vm_info - debug: var=vm_info.ovirt_vms # msg: "{{vm_info.ovirt_vms | map(attribute='status')|list}}" - name: "Génération d'un dictionnaire avec combine" set_fact: vm_status: "{{ vm_status|default({})|combine({item.name: item.status}) }}" loop: "{{vm_info.ovirt_vms}}" when: item.status == "up" - debug: msg: "{{vm_status}}" always: - include: ovirt_auth_revoke.yaml tags: auth,change Good luck! This is up to you, of course. For a project that uses heavily the ansible modules, see ovirt-ansible-hosted-engine-setup. For one that uses the python SDK, see ovirt-system-tests. The SDK itself also has a very useful collection of examples. But I'll find a solution.
