A coherent Ansible roles collection for deploying and managing large-scale clusters of Linux nodes.
BlueBanquise is a collection of coherent Ansible roles and tools designed to deploy and manage large clusters of Linux nodes. It solves the problem of scalable infrastructure automation for various architectures like HPC clusters, enterprise setups, render farms, and Kubernetes clusters. The project focuses on providing a generic, adaptable solution for managing large groups of hosts efficiently.
System administrators, DevOps engineers, and infrastructure teams responsible for deploying and managing large-scale Linux clusters in environments like HPC, enterprise IT, or cloud infrastructure.
Developers choose BlueBanquise for its scalability, architecture flexibility, and comprehensive Ansible-based automation that simplifies complex cluster deployments. Its 100% open-source MIT license and community-driven development ensure transparency and adaptability without vendor lock-in.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Optimized for managing very large groups of hosts, making it efficient for HPC and enterprise-scale deployments, as emphasized in the README's focus on scalability.
Adaptable to various infrastructures including HPC, render farms, and Kubernetes clusters, allowing flexibility across different use cases without vendor lock-in.
Compatible with major distributions like RHEL, Debian, Ubuntu, and OpenSuse, though some non-core roles have limited support as noted in the README.
Under MIT license and not managed by a company, ensuring transparency and community-driven development, with donations encouraged for UNICEF.
Documentation version 3 is still being written and might take weeks, which can delay onboarding and increase reliance on community support or older docs.
Some features like diskless nodes are not supported on all distributions (e.g., Ubuntu, Debian, SUSE), limiting deployment options for certain use cases.
Requires ansible-core >= 2.16, with compatibility issues for specific versions like on RHEL 8 and OpenSuse Leap 15, adding setup complexity.
