We need to have an inventory before we execute any commands or playbooks, so let's build an inventory and add a host to run some tasks.
Building a simple inventory
How to do it...
The INVENTORIES tab is located on the top bar. A Demo Inventory has already been created for us. We will create a new inventory and add a host there. Let's click on the +ADD button and select inventory from the menu.
The new inventory page lets us define the name of the inventory and various parameters including variables. For example, for our cookbook inventory, we can add a variable, ansible_user, with the value as root. To add hosts and modify other tabs of the inventory, we'll have to save the inventory first.
Once we have saved...
