devxy.data_science_core - Ansible Collection for Data Science tools

Automating the installation of Data Science tools helps to more efficiently deploy new versions as they come out and deprecate versions which are EOL. The new Ansible collection devxy.data_science_core aims to make such tasks even easier now: it provides Ansible roles for R, Python and Quarto which are packed with helpful workflows and smart defaults.

The collection is published on Ansible Galaxy and can be installed via

ansible-galaxy collection install devxy.data_science_core

To use one of the roles in an Ansible playbook, do

- name: Install Quarto
  hosts: all
  become: true
 
  roles:
    - role: devxy.data_science_core.quarto

All variables are documented in detail in a tabular format thanks to ansible-doctor (see for example the README of the R role).
