Install and configure ansible

User sandy has been created on your control node with the appropriate permissions already, do not change or modify ssh keys. Install the necessary packages to run ansible on the control node. Configure ansible.cfg to be in folder /home/sandy/ansible/ansible.cfg and configure to access remote machines via the sandy user. All roles should be in the path /home/sandy/ansible/roles. The inventory path should be in /home/sandy/ansible/invenlory.

You will have access to 5 nodes.

Configure these nodes to be in an inventory file where node I is a member of group dev. nodc2 is a member of group test, node3 is a member of group proxy, nodc4 and node 5 are members of group prod. Also, prod is a member of group webservers.

Yeah, that's a good point. I'm also a bit concerned about the folder structure. We'll need to make sure we create all the necessary directories and set the permissions correctly. Wouldn't want to end up with a bunch of 'permission denied' errors.

Agreed, this looks like a fairly straightforward question. The only thing that might trip us up is the part about the SSH keys. We'll need to make sure we don't accidentally modify them, or the whole thing could fall apart.

Haha, good one! But seriously, this question seems pretty straightforward. As long as we follow the instructions carefully, I think we should be able to ace it. Just don't forget to check the inventory file for any typos.

Ah, the joys of Ansible! At least they're not asking us to write any playbooks this time. This should be a piece of cake, as long as we don't accidentally `rm -rf /` while setting up the environment.

Agreed. The instructions are clear and concise. The only thing I'm a bit concerned about is the part where we need to configure the ansible.cfg file. I hope we don't mess up the syntax or forget any of the required settings.

This question looks pretty straightforward. We just need to follow the instructions to set up the Ansible environment and configure the inventory. I don't foresee any major challenges here, as long as we pay attention to the details.
