ansible-bender
Build container images using Ansible playbooks with buildah as the backend.
What is ansible-bender?
Ansible-bender is a tool that bends containers using Ansible playbooks and turns them into container images. It solves the problem of creating reproducible, declarative container builds by leveraging familiar Ansible syntax and buildah as the underlying builder. This allows developers and operators to apply infrastructure-as-code principles directly to container image creation.
DevOps engineers, SREs, and developers who use Ansible for configuration management and want to build container images using the same declarative playbooks. It's ideal for teams already invested in the Ansible ecosystem.
Developers choose ansible-bender because it provides a seamless bridge between Ansible's powerful configuration management and modern container builds. Its unique caching mechanism, which creates layers per task, and its ability to set image metadata directly from playbooks offer fine-grained control not typically found in traditional Dockerfile-based approaches.
