The Ansible Modules for Dell Technologies (Dell) ObjectScale allow Data Center and IT administrators to use RedHat Ansible to automate and orchestrate the provisioning and management of Dell ObjectScale storage systems.
The capabilities of the Ansible modules include managing namespaces, buckets, replication groups, storage pools, IAM users, IAM groups, IAM roles, IAM policies, IAM identity providers, VDC certificates, and to gather high level facts from the storage system. The options available are list, show, create, modify and delete. These tasks can be executed by running simple playbooks written in yaml syntax. The modules are written so that all the operations are idempotent, so making multiple identical requests has the same effect as making a single request.
