Question #: 63
Topic #: 5

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:

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.

You know, if this was a real-world scenario, I'd probably just write a script to generate the config and inventory files. But hey, gotta play by the rules for the exam, right?

I bet the exam writers are chuckling to themselves, just waiting for us to mix up the usernames or forget to include a directory in the config file. Better double-check everything!

I'm not sure about the configuration file, but I'll give it a try.

Wait, we're using the 'Chana' user on the control node? I thought we were supposed to use the 'sandy' user. This exam is really testing our attention to detail!

Hmm, the inventory file looks a bit complicated with all those groups and subgroups. I hope I don't mess that up. And 10 hosts at a time? I wonder if my internet connection can handle that.

Yeah, managing 10 hosts at once can be a bit overwhelming, but you'll manage. Just double-check your inventory file.

Alright, let's see if I got this right. We need to create a config file with the appropriate paths and settings, and then set up an inventory file with the required host groups. Sounds straightforward enough.
