Create an empty encrypted file called myvault.yml in /home/sandy/ansible and set the password to notsafepw. Rekey the password to iwejfj2221.
Install and configure ansible
User sandy has been created on your control node with the appropriate permissions already, do not change or modify ssh keys. Install the necessary packages to run ansible on the control node. Configure ansible.cfg to be in folder /home/sandy/ansible/ansible.cfg and configure to access remote machines via the sandy user. All roles should be in the path /home/sandy/ansible/roles. The inventory path should be in /home/sandy/ansible/invenlory.
You will have access to 5 nodes.
node1.example.com
node2.example.com
node3.example.com
node4.example.com
node5.example.com
Configure these nodes to be in an inventory file where node I is a member of group dev. nodc2 is a member of group test, node3 is a member of group proxy, nodc4 and node 5 are members of group prod. Also, prod is a member of group webservers.
Create a file in /home/sandy/ansible/ called report.yml. Using this playbook, get a file called report.txt (make it look exactly as below). Copy this file over to all remote hosts at /root/report.txt. Then edit the lines in the file to provide the real information of the hosts. If a disk does not exist then write NONE.
Create an ansible vault password file called lock.yml with the password reallysafepw in the /home/sandy/ansible directory. In the lock.yml file define two variables. One is pw_dev and the password is 'dev' and the other is pw_mgr and the password is 'mgr' Create a regular file called secret.txt which contains the password for lock.yml.
Create a playbook called webdev.yml in 'home/sandy/ansible. The playbook will create a directory Avcbdev on dev host. The permission of the directory are 2755 and owner is webdev. Create a symbolic link from /Webdev to /var/www/html/webdev. Serve a file from Avebdev7index.html which displays the text "Development" Curl http://nod e1.example.com/webdev/index.html to test
Create a playbook called balance.yml as follows:
* The playbook contains a play that runs on hosts in balancers host group and uses
the balancer role.
--> This role configures a service to loadbalance webserver requests between hosts
in the webservers host group.curl
--> When implemented, browsing to hosts in the balancers host group (for example
http://node5.example.com) should produce the following output:
Welcome to node3.example.com on 192.168.10.z
--> Reloading the browser should return output from the alternate web server:
Welcome to node4.example.com on 192.168.10.a
* The playbook contains a play that runs on hosts in webservers host group and uses
the phphello role.
--> When implemented, browsing to hosts in the webservers host group with the URL /
hello.php should produce the following output:
Hello PHP World from FQDN
--> where FQDN is the fully qualified domain name of the host. For example,
browsing to http://node3.example.com/hello.php, should produce the following output:
Hello PHP World from node3.example.com
* Similarly, browsing to http://node4.example.com/hello.php, should produce the
following output:
Hello PHP World from node4.example.com
Generate a hosts file:
* Download an initial template file hosts.j2 from http://classroom.example.com/
hosts.j2 to
/home/admin/ansible/ Complete the template so that it can be used to generate a file
with a
line for each inventory host in the same format as /etc/hosts:
172.25.250.9 workstation.lab.example.com workstation
* Create a playbook called gen_hosts.yml that uses this template to generate the file
/etc/myhosts on hosts in the dev host group.
* When completed, the file /etc/myhosts on hosts in the dev host group should have a
line for
each managed host:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
172.25.250.10 serevra.lab.example.com servera
172.25.250.11 serevrb.lab.example.com serverb
172.25.250.12 serevrc.lab.example.com serverc
172.25.250.13 serevrd.lab.example.com serverd
-----------------------------------------------------------------
while practising you to create these file hear. But in exam have to download as per
questation.
hosts.j2 file consists.
localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1
localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Install and configure Ansible on the control-node control.realmX.example.com as
follows:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--> Install the required packages
--> Create a static inventory file called /home/admin/ansible/inventory as follows:
node1.realmX.example.com is a member of the dev host group
node2.realmX.example.com is a member of the test host group
node3.realmX.example.com & node4.realmX.example.com are members of the prod
host group
node5.realmX.example.com is a member of the balancers host group.
prod group is a member of the webservers host group
--> Create a configuration file called ansible.cfg as follows:
--> The host inventory file /home/admin/ansible/inventory is defined
--> The location of roles used in playbooks is defined as /home/admin/ansible/ roles
Create a playbook called packages.yml that:
----------------------------------------------
--> Installs the php and mariadb packages on hosts in the dev, test, and prod host
groups.
--> Installs the Development Tools package group on hosts in the dev host group.
--> Updates all packages to the latest version on hosts in the dev host group.
Create a playbook called web.yml as follows:
* The playbook runs on managed nodes in the "dev" host group
* Create the directory /webdev with the following requirements:
--> membership in the apache group
--> regular permissions: owner=r+w+execute, group=r+w+execute, other=r+execute
s.p=set group-id
* Symbolically link /var/www/html/webdev to /webdev
* Create the file /webdev/index.html with a single line of text that reads:
“Development”
--> it should be available on http://servera.lab.example.com/webdev/index.html
