Description
At AutoCon1 I had some great discussions about Nornir. I want to collect some ideas for new features (could be a minor change, major change, or plugins) and have an open discussion.
- Async support Async architecture (inventory) #880, Async Architecture Topics #881 (by @ktbyers, @dgarros)
1.1 async inventory
1.2 async runner - Possibility to replace the data store strategy Inventory Data Plugin #889 (by @ubaumann)
- Integrated task dispatching/abstraction for different OS/platforms (by @dgarros, @gbieli)
- Session Log for connection plugins (by @gbieli)
- Easy support/interface to use the internal nornir logging (by @gbieli)
- Location for textFSM parsing templates (by @gbieli)
- [plugin] Conditional runner (A condition could be not both PEs can be touched at the same time) (by @ubaumann)
- Access Result in a MultiResult by job name and not index (by @gbieli, @ubaumann)
- [brainstorming] Could we introduce a schema to
Result.resultto better know what kind of data a task returns? (by @ubaumann) - connection_options[conn_type] merge (more details: comment) (by @ktbyers)
- Built-in support for encrypted data (in some way) with
SimpleInventoryorYAMLInventory(by @ktbyers) - Credential Helper/Object/Plugin. (like a key-value store to access secrets) (by @ubaumann)
I am happy to implement or coordinate some of these features. The discussion should aim to show whether these features would be of interest and whether there are more ideas out there.
