Description
Description
Tasks that directly download resources from external sources during runtime (e.g., get_url) causes high memory usage. This issue is particularly noticeable in environments with large-scale deployments or limited system resources. There are multiple instances in different files that we are reporting as part of this bug that we would like to get resolved.
ansible/configs/hacluster-breakfix1-pntae/node-install.yml
- name: copying binary
get_url:
url: "{{courseurl}}/{{coursecode}}/breakfix1/mk"
dest: /usr/local/bin/
mode: '0755'
- name: Pull mysql config file
get_url:
url: "{{courseurl}}/{{coursecode}}/breakfix1/my.cnf"
dest: /etc/my.cnf
- name: Pull http config file

dest: /usr/local/bin/

ansible/configs/ansible-automation-platform/software.yml
- name: Download Manifest for Controller
get_url:
url: "{{ controller_manifest.url }}"
dest: /tmp
ansible/configs/ansible-multi-node/setup-hands-on-aap2.yml
- name: Install user resources
get_url:
url: "{{ __resource.url }}"
ansible/configs/osp-stf/post_software.yml
- name: Get cirros images
get_url:
url: "http://download.cirros-cloud.net/0.5.1/cirros-0.5.1-x86_64-disk.img"
Expected behavior
The playbook should avoid fetching resources directly from external URLs to prevent high memory usage. Instead:
- Pre-fetch the required resources to a control machine or staging area ahead of deployment.
- Use local copies or mirrors for fetching files.
- This approach would reduce memory usage and improve the performance and reliability of deployments.
