Create a file called specs.empty in home/bob/ansible on the local machine as follows:
HOST=
MEMORY=
BIOS=
VDA_DISK_SIZE=
VDB_DISK_SIZE=
Create the playbook /home/bob/ansible/specs.yml which copies specs.empty to all remote nodes' path /root/specs.txt. Using the specs.yml playbook then edit specs.txt on the remote machines to reflect theappropriate ansible facts.
Create a file in/home/sandy/ansible/calledreport.yml.Using this playbook, get a filecalledreport.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 informationofthehosts. Ifa disk does not exist then write NONE.
Create a file calledrequirements.ymlin/home/sandy/ansible/rolesto install two roles. The source for the first role is geerlingguy.haproxy and geerlingguy.php. Name the first haproxy-role and the second php-role. The roles should be installed in/home/sandy/ansible/roles.
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.
