LAB: Getting Started with Ansible

[francsw]

• [x] Create control, node1, node2
• [x] Create ansible users
• [x] Copy keys
• [x] Edit /etc/hosts
• [x] Configure the ansible user on the control node for ssh shared key access to managed nodes. Note: do not use a passphrase for the key pair.
• [x] Install Ansible
• [x] Configure sudo access for Ansible on node1 and node2 so that Ansible may use sudo for any command with no password prompt.
• [x] Create a simple Ansible inventory on the control node in /home/ansible/inventory containing node1 and node2.
• [x] Verify each managed node can be accessed by Ansible from the control node using the ping module. Redirect the output of a successful command to /home/ansible/output.
