Product Description

Steampunk Spotter analyzes and enhances Ansible Playbooks to reduce risk and speed up automation. It scans playbooks and other Ansible content, identifies potential issues, recommends how to improve them to avoid undesirable results, and provides the ability to apply fixes automatically. This versatile tool can be used to spot hard-to-catch and time-consuming errors, structure playbooks so they are easy to use, avoid common playbook anti-patterns, identify name changes and redirects, check for fully qualified names, ensure certified modules are used, quickly identify invalid configurations, and follow automation and security best practices. Spotter is particularly useful for simplifying the Ansible upgrade process. It checks whether playbooks are compatible with the latest Ansible version, pinpoints issues that need to be fixed, and saves time with convenience features like generating a requirements file or pointing users to the module documentation of a specific version. Spotter optimizes automation with improved playbooks that ensure reliable execution and helps users achieve secure and trustable automation.
