ansible/ansible
May 2016 - Oct 2022
Ansible is a radically simple IT automation platform that makes your applications and systems easier to deploy and maintain. Automate everything from code deployment to network configuration to cloud management, in a language that approaches plain English, using SSH, with no agents to install on remote systems. https://docs.ansible.com.
Role in this project:Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:4 reviews, 97 commits, 109 PRs in 6 years 6 months
Contributions summary:Yanis contributed a new module, `openssl_privatekey`, designed to manage the lifecycle of OpenSSL private keys within the Ansible framework. This module allows users to generate RSA or DSA private keys, specifying parameters such as key size, algorithm type, and file path. The implementation leverages the `pyOpenSSL` library, providing a streamlined way to handle private key generation within Ansible playbooks. Subsequent commits involved improvements like public key fingerprint addition and various enhancements for usability.
