Is there a yaml editing module for ansible?

I also have the need to config manage yaml files. I have written an ansible module that attempts to be idempotent while editing yaml files.

I call it yedit (yaml-edit). https://github.com/kwoodson/ansible-role-yedit

Please let me know if you find it useful. I’ll be adding features when our team runs into the need, by request, or by pull-request.

Here is a simple playbook example:

roles:
- lib_yaml_editor

tasks:
- name: edit some yaml
  yedit:
    src: /path/to/yaml/file
    key: foo
    value: bar

- name: more complex data structure
  yedit:
    src: /path/to/yaml/file
    key: a#b#c#d
    value:
      e:
        f:  This is a test

Should produce something that looks like this:

foo: bar
a:
  b:
    c:
      d:
        e:
          f: This is a test
