Ansible : UDMY - 10. YAML

YAML 


 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++



We can take the power of Ansible to the next level by the use of its scripting functionality known as playbooks. A playbook allows us to perform many actions across a multitude of systems 

Ansible playbooks can be written in both YAML and JSON. Ansible is a python program 

It is interesting to how Ansible will interpret YAML as Python . There is an excellent tool that uses the same python module that ansible uses pyaml . And it will dynamically convert from python to YAML.

You can use this command line utility that I am using or you can chose the online tool by pull jar as above. 

Lets take a look at revision 1

We will look at the color notation used at the ansible execution . And how it relates to the key feature of Ansible called "Idempotency"  We will be using the  We will be using the copy module and the command module,  Ansible.doc to quickly understand the options available while using ansible modules .  Used for gathering facts about playbooks.  $ ansible centos1 -m setup  $ ansible centos1 -m setup | more  We can see information about devices . loads of information that get gathered here as facts ,  Using the file module using the combination of paths and states , path to the file being managed...

Image
 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++  +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Here we will validate Ansible to check if it is working as expected . If you are using Ubuntu-c or configured your own Ansible controller machine . You should have an ansible folder, within this you should have a subdirectory venv27. if so activate your virtual environment.  $ source venv27/bin/activate If you decide to go by an alternative approach such as installing ansible using a system package  Please create an ansible directory now , you can continue with out the virtual environment  In the installation video we used the ansible command , check the installation was working as expected.  We are going to use the same ansible command to validate our system But this time we are going to work on a remote system .  We are going to make use of an ansible configuration and an inventory file. Before we d...

Ansible : UDMY -- 8. Ansible Inventories

Image
 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++  +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Ansible Architecture and Design  Ansible Inventory How can we provide connectivity to our Ansible hosts via root  There is a directory for each of these sections  As you can see there is a directory for each of these sections  essentially we can move to each directory and run ansible from each directory . Currently  our setup is quite simple we are connected as pact user connect to controller machine and using ansible as pack user connected to the end points. We are going to configure Ansible so that we can have *root* connectivity for all of our end points.  The centos systems are pretty simpler .  we have "ansible_user" variable set for centos hosts stating the user we will use for connectivity is root.  $ ansible all -m ping  the variable ansible_user hosts fails as we havent s...
