Personally I don=E2=80=99t think ansible and ovirt-shell are mutually e=
xclusive.

Those who are in ansible and devops realms are not really scared by=20
making python/ansible work with ovirt.
From what I gather, playbooks are quite a de-facto pre-requisite to=20
build up a real SaaC =E2=80=9CSoftware as a Code=E2=80=9D environment.
On the other hand, ovirt-shell can and is a fast/easy way to perform=20
=E2=80=9Cnormal daily tasks=E2=80=9D.
totally agree but ovirt-shell is deprecated in 4.1 et will be removed in=20
4.2. Ansible or sdk4 are proposed as an alternative.
...
As long as we have good documentation about how to do things, can we=20
have and support both?
Cheers

I personally found that she'll isn't as useful as the python sdk.
    I usually open up ipython, load the sdk and interact with ovirt
    directly. This is faster and much more powerful than the shell
    could ever be.
okay, I suppose you to be a regular python user. Can you imagine how=20
much time I spent just to understand how it works?
That is to say:
* installing pip and not pip3 because provided
    python-ovirt-engine-sdk4 is default installed to
    /usr/lib64/python2.7,
  * installing ipython,
  * importing the good modules,
  * finding pertinent examples,
  * understand differences between sdk3 and 4
  * correcting some wrong examples
  * adapting example to my need?
I can't see how it can be fast for the newbie.
What's the first goal of a CLI? to abstract all this stuff for the=20
python newbie. If you want a easy-to-use webadmin for attracting a=20
large public, you should provide easy-to-use CLI as well. Ovirt-shell=20
was a part of my choice to use ovirt.
Yes we can learn to use SDK (I dit it), but I don't think a lot people=20
who chose ovirt for simplicity wll use it except advanced users.
A new time, thank you for the great stuff for the great oVirt project,=20
but I find there is too much distance between devs and users.
What do really think the community about this?

Interesting work and thank you for this stuff. I played with
        some modules (ovirt_vms_facts) to get some vms name for example=

* [root@acore ovirt]# ansible-playbook All_Vms_list.yml
          * with

*   - shell: echo "{{ ovirt_vms }} > vms_name // returns an
            unicode json file, that's surely why we can't parse it.
            Can you help me to solve this into the ovirt_vms_facts.py
            file?
* I have no such problem with ovirt_snaphots_module and I
            can easily get the snaphot.id <http://snaphot.id>
            variable.... but:
o I had to manually copy the ovirt_snaphsots_module
                because it is not present on the git tree. This is
                very curious: we can find it here
                http://ovirt-ansible-modules.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_=
modules/ovirt_snapshots_module.htm,
...
but it is not available on the main ansible git tre.
              o On the doc, return values are not described
For the moment, my opinion is that ansible can't be as much
        convinient as the current CLI, e.g. ovirt-shell -E "list vms",
        out of the box. Is there a really reason to deprecate it?

Hello all,
I would like to kindly ask everyone who is Ansible or
            oVirt user for
            testing of the new Ansible oVirt modules. For everyone who
            is familiar
            with the Ansible and oVirt, this[1] describes the steps
            you need to do,
            to setup oVirt modules library and start using those
            modules (Most of those modules will be available in
            Ansible 2.3, some of them are already in 2.2).
If you have any issue setting this up, please contact me,
            I will do the
            best to help you.
If you have an issue, which you think is a bug, please
            open an issue
            here[2]. Please note that Ansible is merging it's
            repositories, so since
            next week it will actually be stored here[3]. If you are
            missing
            anything please open an issue as well, or just contact me,
            and I will
            do fix it. You are also very welcome to sent PR with fixes.
For those who don't have testing environment which can
            test against,
            I've created an Vagrant project which will deploy you the
            oVirt instance
            using Ansible playbooks. You can find how to use it here[4]=
.
...
The repository also contains few examples[5], so you don't
            have to
            copy-paste them from the source.
Thanks all for reading this and any feedback,
            Ondra

    totally agree but ovirt-shell is deprecated in 4.1 et will be
    removed in 4.2. Ansible or sdk4 are proposed as an alternative.<br>

          What's the first goal of a CLI? to abstract all this stuff for
          the python newbie. If you want a easy-to-use webadmin for
          attracting a large public, you should provide easy-to-use CLI
          as well. Ovirt-shell was a part of my choice to use ovirt.<br>
          Yes we can learn to use SDK (I dit it), but I don't think a
          lot people who chose ovirt for simplicity wll use it except
          advanced users.<br>
          A new time, thank you for the great stuff for the great oVirt
          project, but I find there is too much distance between devs
          and users.<br>
          What do really think the community about this?<br>

                      with the Ansible and oVirt, this[1] describes the
                      steps you need to do, <br>
                      to setup oVirt modules library and start using
                      those modules (Most of those modules will be
                      available in Ansible 2.3, some of them are already
                      in 2.2).
                      <br>
                      <br>
                      If you have any issue setting this up, please
                      contact me, I will do the <br>
                      best to help you. <br>
                      <br>
                      If you have an issue, which you think is a bug,
                      please open an issue <br>
                      here[2]. Please note that Ansible is merging it's
                      repositories, so since <br>
                      next week it will actually be stored here[3]. If
                      you are missing <br>
                      anything please open an issue as well, or just
                      contact me, and I will <br>
                      do fix it. You are also very welcome to sent PR
                      with fixes. <br>
                      <br>
                      For those who don't have testing environment which
                      can test against, <br>
                      I've created an Vagrant project which will deploy
                      you the oVirt instance <br>
                      using Ansible playbooks. You can find how to use
                      it here[4]. <br>
                      <br>
                      The repository also contains few examples[5], so
                      you don't have to <br>
                      copy-paste them from the source. <br>
                      <br>
                      Thanks all for reading this and any feedback, <br>
                      Ondra <br>
