I have been learning and writing Ansible for Cloud automation. Created this code repository to share my Ansible automation learnings as snippets.
As I explore and learn Ansible, I will be adding the simple and easy to use Ansible code snippets written in YAML.
🚧 The snippets include generic yaml code for you to understand the Ansible in-built modules and how to use them for your Ansible automation. More code snippets to come. So, ⭐ this repository 😊
Run locally
- Install and setup Ansible
- Command to run locally on your terminal or command prompt
ansible-playbook list_files.yaml -i hosts.ini --flush-cache
For verbose output, use
-vvvvflag in the ansible command
Expected output:
PLAY [List files] *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
TASK [List files in the current directory] ****************************************************************************************************************************************************
changed: [localhost]
TASK [debug] **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"output.stdout_lines": [
"LICENSE",
"README.md",
"add_user_to_os.yaml",
"ansible.cfg",
"curl_requests.yaml",
"hosts.ini",
"list_files.yaml",
"yum_install_dependencies.yaml"
]
}
PLAY RECAP ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
localhost : ok=2 changed=1 unreachable=0 failed=0 skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=0
- cURL requests: add
--ask-become-passflag prompting for a root user password
ansible-playbook curl_requests.yaml -i hosts.ini --flush-cache --ask-become-pass
Expected output:
BECOME password:
PLAY [CURL GET and POST requests] *************************************************************************************************************************************************************
