Does anyone know how to access the output of the embedded ansible jobs? For example I’m deploying an instance in OpenStack and I want the floating IP address that is auto generated by Ansible to pass in an email to the customer.
$evm.root['service_template_provision_task'].destination should point to your service being created (ansible playbook can be run as service).
The service’s service_resources.first.resource.stdout has your playbook’s output that you could process further.
I did not try to put this into an automation workflow, but rails engine shows the information is there (root_password is an service provisioned from an embedded ansible playbook):
> s=$evm.vmdb(:service).find_by_name('root_password')
> puts s.service_resources.first.resource.stdout
