 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?

     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

             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

           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

            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).

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...

                       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...
