Ansible Practicals

Practical 1: Configuration Management

Objective: Learn how to use Ansible for configuration management.

Solution:

  1. Create a playbook file (e.g., playbook.yml) with the desired configuration tasks.
  2. Define the target hosts in the inventory file (e.g., inventory.ini).
  3. Run the playbook to apply the configuration changes.

Example commands:

  • Install packages:

    ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini playbook.yml

  • Manage services:

    ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini playbook.yml

  • Configure files:

    ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini playbook.yml

Practical 2: Infrastructure Provisioning

Objective: Learn how to use Ansible for infrastructure provisioning.

Solution:

  1. Create a playbook file (e.g., playbook.yml) with tasks to provision infrastructure resources.
  2. Define the target hosts in the inventory file (e.g.,inventory.ini).
  3. Run the playbook to provision the infrastructure.

Example commands:

  • Create EC2 instances:

    ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini playbook.yml

  • Provision virtual machines:

    ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini playbook.yml

  • Configure network devices:

    ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini playbook.yml

Practical 3: Application Deployment

Objective: Learn how to use Ansible for application deployment.

Solution:

  1. Create a playbook file (e.g., playbook.yml) with tasks to deploy the application.
  2. Define the target hosts in the inventory file (e.g., inventory.ini).
  3. Run the playbook to deploy the application.

Example commands:

  • Deploy web applications:

    ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini playbook.yml

  • Update application configurations:

    ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini playbook.yml

  • Manage database migrations:

    ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini playbook.yml

Practical 4: CI/CD

Objective: Learn how to use Ansible for CI/CD.

Solution:

  1. Create a playbook file (e.g., playbook.yml) with tasks to trigger CI/CD pipelines or deploy artifacts.
  2. Define the target hosts in the inventory file (e.g., inventory.ini).
  3. Run the playbook to trigger CI/CD or deploy artifacts.

Example commands:

  • Trigger CI/CD pipelines:

    ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini playbook.yml

  • Deploy application artifacts:

    ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini playbook.yml

  • Rollback deployments:

    ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini playbook.yml

Practical 5: Security and Compliance

Objective: Learn how to use Ansible for security and compliance.

Solution:

  1. Create a playbook file (e.g., playbook.yml) with tasks to apply security patches, enforce configurations, or perform compliance audits.
  2. Define the target hosts in the inventory file (e.g., inventory.ini).
  3. Run the playbook to apply security measures or perform compliance checks.

Example commands:

  • Apply security patches:

    ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini playbook.yml

  • Enforce security configurations:

    ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini playbook.yml

  • Perform compliance audits:

    ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini playbook.yml
