The Ansible configuration management tool has a new core notification module called Twilio that allows developers to send critical deployment updates by text message. This feature is particularly useful for developers who want to receive notifications about deployment issues or unexpected events while they are away from their computers. The Twilio notification module integrates seamlessly with Ansible playbooks, making it easy to integrate an external service into a playbook as simple as writing a few lines of YAML. The example playbook repository on GitHub demonstrates how to use the Twilio notification module to send text messages when a deployment fails or succeeds. To use this feature, developers need to sign up for a Twilio account, purchase a phone number, and grab their account credentials from the account dashboard. Once these steps are completed, they can export the necessary variables to their environment and run the modified playbook to receive notifications about deployment issues or successes.
