在开发模块之前，现问下自己几个问题？
- 官方是否有提供的类似功能模块？ 可从下面两个连接确定官方提供的模块，以免重复造轮子 官方已发布的模块 http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/modules.html 官方正在开发的模块 https://github.com/ansible/ansible/labels/module
- 你需要开发一个action 插件么？ action插件是在ansible主机上运行，而不是在目标主机上运行的。对于类似file/copy/template功能的模块，在模块执行前需要在ansible主机上做一些操作的。有关action插件的开发请移步到
明确几点
- 模块是传送到目标主机上运行的。
- 模块的返回值必须是json dumps的字符串。
执行模块的过程
首先，将模块文件读入内存，然后添加传递给模块的参数，最后将模块中所需要的类添加到内存，由zipfile压缩后，再由base64进行编码，写入到模版文件内。
通过默认的连接方式，一般是ssh。ansible通过ssh连接到远程主机，创建临时目录，并关闭连接。然后将打开另外一个ssh连接，将模版文件以sftp方式传送到刚刚创建的临时目录中，写完后关闭连接。然后打开一个ssh连接将任务对象赋予可执行权限，执行成功后关闭连接。
最后，ansible将打开第三个连接来执行模块，并删除临时目录及其所有内容。模块的结果是从标准输出stdout中获取json格式的字符串。ansible将解析和处理此字符串。如果有任务是异步控制执行的，ansible将在模块完成之前关闭第三个连接，并且返回主机后，在规定的时间内检查任务状态，直到模块完成或规定的时间超时。
使用了管道连接后，与远程主机只有一个连接，命令通过数据流的方式发送执行。
配置方式
vim /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
pipelining = True

模块工具
Ansible提供了许多模块实用程序，它们提供了在开发自己的模块时可以使用的辅助功能。 basic.py模块为程序提供访问Ansible库的主要入口点，所有Ansible模块必须至少从basic.py导入：
from ansible.module_utils.basic import *
