vantage_agents Ansible Role

This role installs and configures the vantage-agent and jobbergate-agent on Linux hosts (Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL, CentOS, Rocky, Alma, etc.) using either Snap (default) or PyPI, as determined by the install_type variable. It sets OIDC credentials and cluster name, and ensures both agents are running.

Requirements

• Linux host (Debian/Ubuntu or RHEL/CentOS/Rocky/Alma)
• snapd available (role will install if missing)
• Ansible 2.9+
