documenting vcr purpose #1

Open ssbarnea opened 6 years ago

ssbarnea commented 6 years ago

I think it would be very useful to add a sentence or paragraph long, description of the vcr purpose.

I am asking this as I found it while trying to figure out this is related or not to https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/38786

jctanner commented 6 years ago

@ssbarnea I agree. I'll work on that more once I get all the weird edge cases sorted out. Whether or not it will be useful for 38786, I don't know. My initial usecase is LARGE+COMPLICATED playbooks with HUGE inventories that have performance impacts on the controller and we need to have a way to replicate without paying out the nose for EC2 bills.

@jctanner Thanks for the update, I will be watching the progress. If performance is what you are looking for you may want to have a look at http://mitogen.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ansible.html - it did work well for me but in my case inventory is usually <10, only the playbooks are large.
