Summary

Design automation blueprints using Ansible's playbooks to orchestrate and manage your multitier infrastructure About This Book Get to grips with Ansible’s features such as orchestration， automatic node discovery， and data encryption Create data-driven， modular and reusable automation code with Ansible roles， facts， variables， and templates A step-by-step approach to automating and managing system and application configurations effectively using Ansible's playbooks Who This Book Is For

If you are a systems or automation engineer who intends to automate common infrastructure tasks， deploy applications， and use orchestration to configure systems in a coordinated manner， then this book is for you。 Some understanding of the Linux/Unix command-line interface is expected。

What You Will Learn Write simple tasks and plays Organize code into a reusable， modular structure Separate code from data using variables and Jinja2 templates Run custom commands and scripts using Ansible's command modules Control execution flow based on conditionals Integrate nodes and discover topology information about other nodes in the cluster Encrypt data with Ansible-vault Create environments with isolated configurations to match the application development workflow Orchestrate infrastructure and deploy applications in a coordinated manner In Detail

This book will show you how to write a blueprint of your infrastructure， encompassing multitier applications using Ansible's playbooks。 Beginning with basic concepts such as plays， tasks， handlers， inventory， and the YAML syntax that Ansible uses， you will see how to organize your code into a modular structure。 Building on this， you will master techniques to create data-driven playbooks with variables， templates， logical constructs， and encrypted data。 This book will also take you through advanced clustering concepts， such as discovering topology information about other nodes in the cluster， managing multiple environments with isolated configurations， and orchestrate infrastructure and deploy applications in a coordinated manner。

By the end of this book， you will be able to design solutions to your automation and orchestration problems using playbooks quickly and efficiently。

Chris Pacheco ，

Really good info The book flows well and was really interesting it would have been nice to see a chapter on networking but it was really good read。

Great book about Ansbile， and ansbile related topics。Good examples ！ great topic cover， just about everything you need to start doin ansible。

A good introduction to Ansible most of the time。 Practical and informative。You'll get the hang of Ansible one practical chapter at a time where you attack a standard Devops problem of provisioning， running and managing machines。 The base file provided by the author serves as a good starting point。 Although the first thing I recommend to other readers is to replace the Vagrant manual provision at the start with an Ansible playbook。 It's a fun start。It's written for an older version of Ansible but A good introduction to Ansible most of the time。 Practical and informative。You'll get the hang of Ansible one practical chapter at a time where you attack a standard Devops problem of provisioning， running and managing machines。 The base file provided by the author serves as a good starting point。 Although the first thing I recommend to other readers is to replace the Vagrant manual provision at the start with an Ansible playbook。 It's a fun start。It's written for an older version of Ansible but it's completely ok to follow with Ansible 2。0。1。0。There are few commands that need to be changed and better way of doing things since the Ansible version the book was written for。 That's not a bad point of the book。 Just a note to other readers to explore different alternatives while doing the problems。The bad thing is that the book is very inconsistent。 It recommends something from the Ansible Best Practices （https://docs。ansible。com/ansible/play。。。） then later neglects it。Showing Ansible Galaxy usage before even introducing it to the reader。 Writing about parameterized roles one whole chapter before using them。 Overall it is a good book， but if you don't have full focus while reading it， you'll be in lots of adventures while debugging something wrong or having a hard time following the examples。 。。。more
