Uploading artifacts

You can define artifacts to create or copy files to target instances:

cluster_vars:
  artifacts:
  - type: path
    path: /some/target/path
    state: directory
    owner: root
    group: root
    mode: "0755"
  - type: file
    src: /host/path/to/file
    dest: /target/path/to/file
    owner: root
    group: root
    mode: "0644"
  - type: archive
    src: example.tar.gz
    dest: /some/target/path
  - type: directory
    src: /host/path/a/
    dest: /target/path/b/

The following types are supported:

• Use path to create or remove and change the ownership or mode of files and directories (takes the same parameters as Ansible’s file module, which it uses internally)

• Use file to copy a file from the controller and set the ownership and mode (uses copy )

• Use archive to extract files from an archive to a specified location (uses unarchive )

• Use directory to rsync a directory from the controller to target instances (uses synchronize )

The example shows one entry for each of the above artifact types, but you can use these or any other parameters that the corresponding Ansible module accepts.
