Ansible - Playbook
Playbooks are used to perform many actions on multiple machines
Playbooks are written in YAML language
Playbooks are divided into three sections:
===========================================
1. Target Section
Similar to nodes.pp in puppet
runlist in Chef
Target hosts defines on which hosts, this playbook will be executed and how it will be executed
2. Variable Definition
Define your variables, which can be used from the playbooks
3. Tasks Section
What do you intend to do on the target hosts
List all the modules that you intend to run in the order.
As ansible is agentless, we dont need any angent on the remote host
The playbook Syntax:
Always starts with ---
It is very particular about intendation and spacing
---
- hosts: hostname.example.com
The tasks title in puppet is the name in playbook
Use the copy module , source and destination to copy the stuff
