Deployment with Ansible

We have covered the most fundamental features of Ansible. Now, let's forget, just for a little while, about Docker, Kubernetes, and most of the things we've learned so far. Let's configure a complete deployment step by only using Ansible. We will run the calculator service on one server and the Hazelcast service on the second server.

Installing Hazelcast

We can specify a play in the new playbook. Let's create the playbook.yml file, with the following content:

---
- hosts: web1
  become: yes
  become_method: sudo
  tasks:
  - name: ensure Java Runtime Environment is installed
    apt: 
      name: default-jre
      state: present
      update_cache: yes
  - name: create Hazelcast directory
...
