Preview infrastructure changes before applying with Safe Dry Run Execution in Knee CLI. Run playbooks in Ansible check mode to see intended changes, diffs, and impact by host. Validate policies, catch configuration drift, and share a change preview for approvals. Reduce risk in DevOps automation and speed CI CD rollouts with clear, human-readable reports.
Running playbooks without a trusted dry run risks outages, failed deploys, and emergency rollbacks. Teams lack a single change preview that shows what will change on each host, so approvals stall and windows slip. Inconsistent use of Ansible check mode, weak policy guardrails, and missing diffs lead to configuration drift and poor audit readiness.
Knee CLI executes playbooks in Safe Dry Run Execution using Ansible check mode. It targets the chosen inventory, simulates tasks, and produces a change preview with file and package diffs, handlers, and idempotency notes. Policy guardrails validate tags, variables, and secrets redaction. The report exports to PR comments or tickets for fast approvals, then the same runbook promotes to apply when ready.
