Welcome to uPlaybook

Introduction

uPlaybook is a Python-like declarative IT automation tool. It allows you to declare the desired state of a project or system via a Python playbook and associated templates/data.

This guide covers:

• Installing uPlaybook
• Running uPlaybook
• Making your own playbooks
• Developing new tasks

The Playbook Format

uPlaybook playbooks are written in Python but follow some specific conventions:

• Declare desired state rather than imperatively defining steps
• Tasks communicate if they changed something
• Changed tasks can trigger handlers
• Jinja2 templating of many argument values
• Status output
