Apache Airflow | Use case for an "Ansible operator"

Question

I am a fun of Ansible for IT tasks automation, testing, CI/CD, provisioning, inventorying, no-code/configuration over code approach, etc. ...

.. I also like the way Airflow handles triggers and different workflow exiting/concatenation logic, notifications, and keep tracks of past runs

... so I am wondering, is there any use case for using both technologies together? (i mean embedding ansible inside airflow)

A quick web search just leads me to stuff like "Ansible VS Airflow", but i see potential for using them both without having to rewrite all Ansible playbooks into python code.

I am quite surprised not to see any Ansible operator for Airflow out there, could you share some thoughts on this?

Answer 1

I am also looking for an Ansible operator. Unfortunately can't find any. We may have to use SSH hook to connect to the Ansible server and run bash commands. This is what I had planned to do. If there is a different method of doing this, please suggest.
