Ansible Setup and Configuration

As Ansible is agentless, unlike other configuration management platforms, it only requires a master node installation. Ansible is also particularly light due to its lack of daemons, database reliance, and keep-on-running services.

Following our introduction to Ansible, we are now going to look at different ways of installing Ansible in your environment, such as bare-metal, in the cloud, and the use of Docker containers. We will also look at how to install Ansible on multiple Linux operating systems, both from a package manager and from the source. Finally, we will look at how to prepare and configure a host so that it is Ansible-controllable. This chapter will cover the following:

Ansible master nodes and basic Linux installation
Ansible container setup
Ansible source installation
Ansible AWS instance setup
Ansible configuration...

Description

Configuration Management (CM) tools help administrators reduce their workload. Ansible is one of the best Configuration Management tools, and can act as an orchestrator for managing other CMs. This book is the easiest way to learn how to use Ansible as an orchestrator and a Configuration Management tool. With this book, you will learn how to control and monitor computer and network infrastructures of any size,physical or virtual. You will begin by learning about the Ansible client-server architecture. To get started, you will set up and configure an Ansible server. You will then go through the major features of Ansible: Playbook and Inventory. Then, we will look at Ansible systems and network modules. You will then use Ansible to enable infrastructure automated configuration management, followed by best practices for using Ansible roles and community modules. Finally, you will explore Ansible features such as Ansible Vault, Ansible Containers, and Ansible plugins.

Très bon bouquin pour mettre un pied dans Ansible.Compréhensible même pour un administrateur système (pas de grande notion de développement à avoir).Genial

Quick delivery and easy to read.

I've been coding for 3 decades using most languages on most platforms. Been heavy into DevOps for 2 years using Puppet extensively and Chef for a few projects. After reading thru the whole book, I am sorry to say but I cannot recommend it. It is more of a "type this and you should see that" book. Very light on explanations. The biggest disappointment was the chapter on playbooks (the most fundamental construct in Ansible) was given barely 15 pages and did not go into near enough detail to be useful in actually writing playbooks. I picked up this book because it was one of the most recent and I thought it would be the most up to date. There are better Ansible books out there if you need more that a light overview.
