Ansible 101 by trishnag
We had an introductory session on Ansible in #dgplug and these are some notes from the class. 1. Learned about hosts file to create an inventory, https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/intro_inventory.html#hosts-and-groups
Different connections (ssh and local for now). I had also tested it against a server running CentOS.
We then went on to create an
ansible.cfg
file in the demo directory which takes precedence over the global configuration.Learned to write a basic playbook which is a YAML file.
/bin/echo using shell module
ping using the ping module
