Ansible是由Python开发的一个运维工具，因为工作需要接触到Ansible，经常会集成一些东西到Ansible，所以对Ansible的了解越来越多。
那Ansible到底是什么呢？在我的理解中，原来需要登录到服务器上，然后执行一堆命令才能完成一些操作。而Ansible就是来代替我们去执行那些命令。并且可以通过Ansible控制多台机器，在机器上进行任务的编排和执行，在Ansible中称为playbook。
那Ansible是如何做到的呢？简单点说，就是Ansible将我们要执行的命令生成一个脚本，然后通过sftp将脚本上传到要执行命令的服务器上，然后在通过ssh协议，执行这个脚本并将执行结果返回。
那Ansible具体是怎么做到的呢？下面从模块和插件来看一下Ansible是如何完成一个模块的执行
PS：下面的分析都是在对Ansible有一些具体使用经验之后，通过阅读源代码进一步得出的执行结论，所以希望在看本文时，是建立在对Ansible有一定了解的基础上，最起码对于Ansible的一些概念有了解，例如inventory，module，playbooks等
模块是Ansible执行的最小单位，可以是由Python编写，也可以是Shell编写，也可以是由其他语言编写。模块中定义了具体的操作步骤以及实际使用过程中所需要的参数
执行的脚本就是根据模块生成一个可执行的脚本。
那Ansible是怎么样将这个脚本上传到服务器上，然后执行获取结果的呢？
连接插件，根据指定的ssh参数连接指定的服务器，并切提供实际执行命令的接口
命令插件，根据sh类型，来生成用于connection时要执行的命令
执行策略插件，默认情况下是线性插件，就是一个任务接着一个任务的向下执行，此插件将任务丢到执行器去执行。
动作插件，实质就是任务模块的所有动作，如果ansible的模块没有特别编写的action插件，默认情况下是normal或者async（这两个根据模块是否async来选择），normal和async中定义的就是模块的执行步骤。例如，本地创建临时文件，上传临时文件，执行脚本，删除脚本等等，如果想在所有的模块中增加一些特殊步骤，可以通过增加action插件的方式来扩展。
实际需求中，我们扩展的一些Ansible模块需要使用三方库，但每个节点中安装这些库有些不易于管理。ansible执行模块的实质就是在节点的python环境下执行生成的脚本，所以我们采取的方案是，指定节点上的Python环境，将局域网内一个python环境作为nfs共享。通过扩展Action插件，增加节点上挂载nfs，待执行结束后再将节点上的nfs卸载。具体实施步骤如下：
扩展代码：
