pyinfra automates/provisions/manages/deploys infrastructure. It can be used for ad-hoc command execution, service deployment, configuration management and more. Design features include:
- 🚀 Super fast execution over thousands of hosts with predictable performance.
- 🚨 Instant debugging with stdout & stderr output on error or as required (
-v
|-vv
|-vvv
). - 📦 Extendable with any Python package as configured & written in standard Python.
- 💻 Agentless execution against SSH/Docker/subprocess/winrm hosts.
- ❗️ Two stage process that enables
--dry
runs before executing any changes. - 🔌 Integrated with Docker, Vagrant/Mech & Ansible out of the box.
When you run pyinfra you'll see something like (non animated version):
pyinfra can be installed via pip:
pip install pyinfra
Now you can execute commands & operations over SSH:
# Execute an arbitrary shell command
pyinfra my-server.net exec -- echo "hello world"
# Install iftop apt package if not present
pyinfra my-server.net apt.packages iftop sudo=true update=true
These can then be saved to a deploy file, let's call it deploy.py
:
from pyinfra.operations import apt
apt.packages(
name='Ensure iftop is installed',
packages=['iftop'],
sudo=True,
update=True,
)
And executed with:
pyinfra my-server.net deploy.py
or
pyinfra @docker/ubuntu deploy.py
