Für die Hetzner-Cloud gibt es ein Kommandozeilentool, noch schöner finde ich die Steuerung aber über Ansible!

Voraussetzung:

• Ansible auf python3 umstellen ¹⁾
• hcloud Modul für python3 installieren (pip3 install hcloud)
• Ein Hetzner Cloud Accound mit Api-Key → siehe dort: https://docs.hetzner.cloud/

getestet mit ansible 2.10.0.dev0 mit python3.7 und hcloud 1.6.3 (2020-01)

Entspannt ausprobieren, ob das mit dem Token usw. auch so funktioniert. Der Servername wird hier als Variable "cloudserver" auf der Kommandozeile übergeben

---
# list_hcloud_server.yml
# hcloud list a server
- name: list hcloud server | test
  hosts: localhost
  connection: local
  gather_facts: false
  user: root
  vars_files:
    - vars/hcloud_token.yml

  tasks:
  - name: list server
    hcloud_server_info:
      api_token: "{{ hcloud_token }}"
      name: "{{ cloudserver }}"

--- 
# var/hcloud_token.yml
# hetzner cloud (hcloud) api token for project test
hcloud_token: "PleaseMoveYourRealApiTokenOutOfYourGitPathAndSymlink1234567890ab"

ansible-playbook -v list_hcloud_server.yml --extra-vars "cloudserver=myserver"

Using /home/youruser/.ansible.cfg as config file
