Manage Configuration with Ansible
In this project, we’ll focus on various aspects of using Ansible for configuration management, covering the following key areas:
Creating inventory: We’ll create an inventory containing the list of hosts we wish to manage.
Creating variables: We’ll define appropriate variables that our playbooks need.
Creating roles and writing playbooks: We’ll create a role that sets up monitoring using Grafana and write the needed playbook(s) that will contain the tasks to perform the required actions.
Working with handlers: We’ll write handlers that will be triggered upon completing certain tasks.
Using Jinja2 templating: We’ll template some required files or settings with the help of Jinja2 templating
This project will reinforce our understanding of the essentials of Ansible and provide a practical hands-on experience that can be applied to real-world configuration management scenarios.
