Activity Guide 13: How to install Ansible in VM
Ansible is a software program that provides cross-platform computer assistance through simple yet effective automation. It is primarily aimed at IT professionals, who use it for application deployment, workstation and server updates, cloud provisioning, configuration management, intra-service orchestration, and practically anything else that a systems administrator does on a weekly or daily basis. Ansible does not rely on agent software and does not require any additional security infrastructure, making it simple to set up.
In this Lab, you will learn how to install Ansible on AWS EC2 Linux Instance (VM) and check the Ansible version. You can create and configure the Ansible locally on your own Linux VM or your Linux Machine.
AWS is in demand with Ansible in the Industry, and for this reason, we are working on AWS Cloud for configuring Ansible.
Activity Guide 14: How to setup the inventory of Ansible
Ansible runs on many systems in your infrastructure simultaneously. It does it by picking portions of Ansible’s inventory file systems, which defaults to being stored in the location/etc/ansible/hosts. You can define a different inventory file using the-i <path>option on the command line.
In this activity guide, we will set up an Ansible controller that communicates with 2 target machines.
We will also configure inventory files and run commands to test if our configuration is working.
Activity Guide 15: How to run the ansible Ahdoc commands
Ansible ad hoc commands are one-liners composed to perform a particular task, like performing a quick task over various machines.
In this Lab, we will learn how to use Ad-hoc commands in Ansible Playbook.
Activity Guide 16: How to run a playbook in Ansible
Playbooks register and perform Ansible’s configuration, deployment, and orchestration functions. They can specify a policy you want your remote systems to implement or a set of actions in a standard IT process.
Modules are script-like programs written to specify the desired state of the system. A code editor is used to write Modules. Modules are written by the developer and executed via SSH. Modules are part of a more extensive program called Playbook. Ansible module is a standalone script that is used inside an Ansible Playbook.
Here, you’ll learn how to create an Ansible Playbook from Scratch and test the same playbook.
