ANSIBLE.ACCELERATE(3)

NAME
accelerate - Enable accelerated mode on remote node

DESCRIPTION

This modules launches an ephemeral accelerate daemon on the remote node which Ansible can use to communicate with nodes at high speed.

The daemon listens on a configurable port for a configurable amount of time.

Fireball mode is AES encrypted

OPTIONS

ipv6
    The listener daemon on the remote host will bind to the ipv6 localhost socket if this parameter is set to true.

minutes
    The accelerate listener daemon is started on nodes and will stay around for this number of minutes before turning itself off. (default: 30)

port
    TCP port for the socket connection (default: 5099)

timeout
    The number of seconds the socket will wait for data. If none is received when the timeout value is reached, the connection will be closed. (default: 300).

NOTES

See the advanced playbooks chapter for more about using accelerated mode.

EXAMPLES
# To use accelerate mode, simply add "accelerate: true" to your play. The initial
# key exchange and starting up of the daemon will occur over SSH, but all commands and
# subsequent actions will be conducted over the raw socket connection using AES encryption
- hosts: devservers
  accelerate: true
  tasks:
      - command: /usr/bin/anything
