Technical requirements

The technical requirements for this chapter are covered in the following subsection.

Setting up GitHub access

Please refer to the instructions found in Chapter 1, Block Storage – Learning How to Provision Block Storage on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, to gain access to GitHub. You will find the Ansible Automation playbooks for this chapter at the following link: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Red-Hat-Certified-Specialist-in-Services-Management-and-Automation-EX358-Exam-Guide/tree/main/Chapter07. Remember these are suggested playbooks and are not the only way you can write them – you can make the playbooks work for you.

You can always change them up using raw, shell, or cmd to achieve the same results but we are demonstrating the best way to accomplish the goals. Also, keep in mind that we are not using the FCQN, which is needed in future versions of Ansible, as that will not be supported in the exam, which covers Ansible 2.9.
