pyinfra 0.9.dev0

Deploy stuff by diff-ing the state you want against the remote server.

pyinfra is designed to automate/provision/manage/deploy servers at scale.

It can be used for ad-hoc command execution, service deployment, configuration management; you could say that pyinfra is like a combination of Ansible + Fabric. It is asynchronous, highly performant and can target thousands of hosts in parallel. It is entirely configured in Python, allowing for near-infinite extendability out of the box.

Design Features

pyinfra was designed to deploy things in a consistent, debuggable and maintainable manner. Notable design decisions:

• properly agentless - even Python isn’t required on the remote side (just a shell!)

• always print raw stderr on operation failure for instant debugging

• -v means print out remote stdout & stderr in realtime

• outputs shell commands and files to upload

• two-step deploy that enables dry-runs

• fail fast where possible (eg touching a directory)

• uses pure, 100% Python for the inventory and deploy scripts

  • with operations/hooks to safely use Python mid-deploy
