Would it be nice to have bittorrent as a way to copy files around?

[Steven Truong]

Hi all,

Included is a link to a talk that described using Fabric and bittorrent.  If we could have this feature, Ansible will rule the world.

Cheers,

Steven.

A module around setting up and seeding/downloading-from something like murder could be interesting.

Or perhaps it's a pair of Galaxy roles?

Definitely support the concept of murder. Looked into that from Twitter a while back and loved it.

Or this https://github.com/russss/Herd.  This is one python file.....

That concept looks fantastic! Ofcourse the single biggest concern is security, but if you can setup this up so that it gets popped onto the systems (similar to the old fireball mode) and have it generate an encrypted connection, then it should be trivial to have it prop the data. The interesting point is if you can leverage it with some sort of compression technology, then you can do a full multi-casting type function and just spam the code to all instances immediately. Could be lightning fast!
