FAQPage Schema

How do I scaffold a new Ansible execution environment project?▼

Scaffolding an Ansible execution environment involves generating a standards-compliant project structure by providing an EE name. This creates the foundational directories and configuration files needed to bootstrap your automation project.

What is the best way to generate CI/CD pipelines for an Ansible EE?▼

The best way to generate CI/CD pipelines for an Ansible EE is to use an automated scaffolding tool that includes pipeline generation. This ensures your execution environment project has a standardized, ready-to-use CI workflow out of the box.

Does scaffolding an Ansible EE automatically handle external dependencies?▼

Yes, scaffolding an Ansible EE performs dependency introspection to propose and generate external dependency files. This ensures all required collections and Python packages are properly declared during the initial project creation.

Can I use this scaffolding process to build or manage existing Ansible containers?▼

No, you cannot use this scaffolding process to build or manage existing Ansible containers. It is strictly designed to create, generate, or bootstrap new execution environment projects from scratch following best practices.

Do I need ansible-creator to bootstrap an execution environment?▼

You need ansible-creator to bootstrap an execution environment because the scaffolding process leverages it when available. Using ansible-creator ensures the generated EE project structure follows current upstream best practices and standards.
