Ansible Playbook for TiDB is superseded by TiUP, a powerful tool to manage a TiDB cluster.
And this project has ended. All development/maintenance activities have halted.
As it is free software, people are free and welcome to fork and develop the codebase on their own. However, to avoid any confusion, the original repository is archived and we recommend any further fork/development to proceed with an explicit rename and rebranding first.
We encourage all interested parties to mirror any relevant bits as we can't actively guarantee their existence in the future.
Ansible is an IT automation tool. It can configure systems, deploy software, and orchestrate more advanced IT tasks such as continuous deployments or zero downtime rolling updates.
