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.
Create a jinja template in /home/sandy/ansible/ and name it hosts.j2. Edit this file so it looks like the one below. The order of the nodes doesn't matter. Then create a playbook in /home/sandy/ansible called hosts.yml and install the template on dev node at /root/myhosts
Create a playbook that changes the default target on all nodes to multi-user tarqet. Do this in playbook file called target.yml in /home/sandy/ansible
Create a playbook called balance.yml as follows:
* The playbook contains a play that runs on hosts in balancers host group and uses
the balancer role.
--> This role configures a service to loadbalance webserver requests between hosts
in the webservers host group.curl
--> When implemented, browsing to hosts in the balancers host group (for example
http://node5.example.com) should produce the following output:
Welcome to node3.example.com on 192.168.10.z
--> Reloading the browser should return output from the alternate web server:
Welcome to node4.example.com on 192.168.10.a
* The playbook contains a play that runs on hosts in webservers host group and uses
the phphello role.
--> When implemented, browsing to hosts in the webservers host group with the URL /
hello.php should produce the following output:
Hello PHP World from FQDN
--> where FQDN is the fully qualified domain name of the host. For example,
browsing to http://node3.example.com/hello.php, should produce the following output:
Hello PHP World from node3.example.com
* Similarly, browsing to http://node4.example.com/hello.php, should produce the
following output:
Hello PHP World from node4.example.com
Install the RHEL system roles package and create a playbook called timesync.yml that:
--> Runs over all managed hosts.
--> Uses the timesync role.
--> Configures the role to use the time server 192.168.10.254 ( Hear in redhat lab
use "classroom.example.com" )
--> Configures the role to set the iburst parameter as enabled.
