Ansible for Trident deployment and management

[acsulli]

Kubernetes and OpenShift both have Ansible playbooks for deployment and management of the cluster. Having playbooks which can be used to deploy, configure, and manage Trident as a part of that would enabled end-to-end hands off deployment of the solution. Ideally, functionality would include:

• Install
• Upgrade
• Add/remove backend
• Verify backends are present with expected configuration options

Additionally, having example playbooks for creating/managing/verifying storage class objects would be extremely helpful.

I've just made one using pssh which can deploy and configure Trident with one click.

That's awesome! I'd love to hear what people think.

We use Ansible to deploy Trident.
We don't have an upgrade option yet but we will be adding one soon.

Feel free to reopen this request. Recently most of our customers have been requesting a Trident Operator to assist with automation. The Trident Operator was delivered with the 20.04 release.
