pyinfra automates infrastructure super fast at massive scale. It can be used for ad-hoc command execution, service deployment, configuration management and more. Core design features include:

• 🚀 Super fast execution over thousands of targets with predictable performance.
• 🚨 Instant debugging with realtime stdin/stdout/stderr output (-vvv).
• 🔄 Idempotent operations that enable diffs and--dry runs before making any changes.
• 📦 Extendable with any Python package as configured & written in standard Python.
• 💻 Agentless execution against SSH/Docker/subprocess/WinRM hosts.
• 🔌 Integrated with Docker, Terraform, Vagrant/Mech & Ansible out of the box.

When you run pyinfra you'll see something like (non animated version):

Quickstart

Install pyinfra with pipx (recommended) or pip:

pipx install pyinfra

Now you can execute commands over SSH:

pyinfra my-server.net exec -- echo "hello world"

Or target Docker, the local machine, and other connectors:

pyinfra @docker/ubuntu exec -- echo "Hello world"
pyinfra @local exec -- echo "Hello world"

As well as executing commands you can define state using operations:

pyinfra @docker/ubuntu apt.packages iftop update=true _sudo=true

Which can then be saved as a Python file like deploy.py:

from pyinfra.operations import apt

apt.packages(
    name="Ensure iftop is installed",
    packages=["iftop"],
    update=True,
    _sudo=True,
)

And executed:

pyinfra @docker/ubuntu deploy.py

Now you know the building blocks of pyinfra! By combining inventory, operations and Python code you can deploy anything.
