Agentless infrastructure automation, in plain Python·pyinfra.com

Free plan · Open source See pricing ↓

pyinfra is a Python-native, agentless infrastructure automation and configuration management tool that runs commands over SSH concurrently and idempotently. It targets SSH servers, Docker containers, and local machines, using plain Python deploy scripts instead of YAML or a custom DSL. Operations are idempotent and can be previewed with a dry-run diff before being applied.

What it's for

Automate infrastructure changes across thousands of servers over SSHInstall packages, template config files, and manage services (e.g. apt.packages, files.template, systemd.service)Preview changes before applying them using a dry-run diff (--dry)Target specific host groups from a Python inventory file (--limit)Manage Docker, LXC, and Kubernetes hosts via connectorsReplace existing Ansible playbooks with plain Python deploy scripts

Features 13

--limit flag to target specific host groups
Agentless — only requires a shell and SSH on target hosts
Built-in operations such as apt.packages, files.template, systemd.service
Claims 6x faster execution than Ansible on identical workloads
Concurrent fact-gathering before running deploys
Concurrent SSH execution built on gevent
Custom operations can be written in about 10 lines of code
Dry-run mode to preview changes before applying (--dry)
Idempotent operations (re-runs are no-ops)
Python-based inventory files supporting groups and host metadata
Python-native deploy scripts, no YAML or custom DSL
Realtime streaming output of operation results
Scales from a single host to 10,000+ hosts
