Question #: 71
Topic #: 3
[All EX294 Questions]

Install and configure ansible

User bob has been created on your control node. Give him the appropriate permissions on the control node. Install the necessary packages to run ansible on the control node.

Create a configuration file /home/bob/ansible/ansible.cfg to meet the following requirements:

* The roles path should include /home/bob/ansible/roles, as well as any other path that may be required for the course of the sample exam.

* The inventory file path is /home/bob/ansible/inventory.

* Ansible should be able to manage 10 hosts at a single time.

* Ansible should connect to all managed nodes using the bob user.

Create an inventory file for the following five nodes:

nodel.example.com

node2.example.com

node3.example.com

node4.example.com

node5.example.com

Configure these nodes to be in an inventory file where node1 is a member of group dev. nodc2 is a member of group test, nodc3 is a member of group proxy, nodc4 and node 5 are members of group prod. Also, prod is a member of group webservers.

Just a heads up, the paths in the config file should match the user's home directory!

The become settings seem a bit overkill. Do we really need to become root for this setup?

The configuration file looks solid, but I'm wondering if we should increase the number of hosts Ansible can manage at a single time.

The inventory file looks correct, but I'm not sure about the host_key_checking setting. Shouldn't we set it to true for better security?

I remember that we should use the correct syntax for the inventory file, but I keep mixing up the group names and hostnames.

I feel a bit uncertain about the permissions for user Katie on the control node. Did we cover how to set those up properly?

I practiced a similar question where I had to set up the inventory file, but I can't recall if I need to specify the groups in a certain order.

I think I remember that the roles path needs to be set correctly in the ansible.cfg file, but I'm not sure if I need to include any other paths for the exam.

No problem, I've done similar Ansible setup tasks before. I'll just work through each requirement systematically and I'm confident I can get this done.

The inventory file part seems a bit tricky. I'll need to make sure I properly group the nodes as described in the question.

Okay, I think I've got a good handle on this. I'll create the ansible.cfg file with the specified paths and settings, then set up the inventory file as requested.

Looks good, but I think the roles path should also include /home/bob/ansible/custom_roles.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about the configuration file requirements. I'll need to double-check the details on the roles path, inventory file, and connection settings.

This looks like a pretty straightforward Ansible setup question. I'll start by creating the user bob and giving him the necessary permissions on the control node.
