Installing and configuring a web server

Now that we have made some generic changes to the operating system, let's move on to actually creating a web server. We are splitting those two phases so that we can share the first phase between every machine and apply the second only to web servers.

For this second phase, we will create a new playbook called webserver.yaml with the following content:

--- 
- hosts: all 
  remote_user: ansible
  tasks: 
    - name: Ensure the HTTPd package is installed 
      yum: 
        name: httpd 
        state: present 
      become: True 
    - name: Ensure the HTTPd service is enabled and running 
      service: 
        name: httpd 
        state: started 
        enabled: True 
      become: True 
    - name: Ensure HTTP can pass the firewall 
      firewalld: 
        service: http 
        state: enabled 
        permanent: True 
        immediate: True
