Tenks
Tenks is a utility that manages virtual bare metal clusters for development and testing purposes.
Getting Started
Tenks has dependencies on Ansible roles that are hosted by Ansible Galaxy.
Given that your virtualenv of choice is active and Ansible (>=2.6) is
installed inside it, Tenks' role dependencies can be installed by
ansible-galaxy install --role-file=requirements.yml --roles-path=ansible/roles/.
Currently, Tenks does not have a CLI or wrapper. A virtual cluster can be
deployed by configuring the variables defined in group_vars/* as necessary,
then calling
ansible-playbook --inventory ansible/inventory ansible/deploy.yml. Individual
sections of Tenks can be run separately by substituting ansible/deploy.yml in
the command above with the path to the playbook you want to run. The current
playbooks can be seen in the Ansible structure diagram in the Development
section.

A diagram representing the Ansible structure of Tenks can be seen below. Blue rectangles represent playbooks, green rounded rectangles represent task books, red ellipses represent roles and yellow rhombi represent action plugins.
