How to Deploy VM’s in Hyper-V with Ansible

Thought it would be fun to do…..

If you can find another public repo that has it working online. Please send me a message so I can kick myself.

• This role will allow you to use a vhdx image to deploy vm’s in hyperv

• It will use the vm name to create a sub-folder to place the new vm image in

• It will configure the network switch

• It will setup the vlan tag/id and enable it

• It will also set the smart-paging file location to the destination path of the vm

• It will configure the OS network configuration

• It will power on the machine and wait for response successfully

• It can also remove vms

• You can also call the role with tags if you want…

How to use this role:

1.You must first download the git repository into your roles directory usually ansible/role/

a.git clone git@github.com:Perfect10NickTailor/ansible-hyperv.git

https://github.com/Perfect10NickTailor/ansible-hyperv

2.Now you want edit the hosts.client file name file or create it if it doesn’t exist under your “ansible/inventory/dev:staging:prod” directory. This is a good way to separate environments with ansible, inside each environment you should have a hosts.file like indicated below.

Example file: hosts.dev, hosts.staging, hosts.prod

b.Put your server under the appropriate group inside the file and save

i.testmachine1.nicktailor.com ansible_host=192.168.1.101 (the ip is pointed to the hypervisor)

Note: If there is no group simply list the server outside grouping, the –limit flag will pick it

up.

3.Now inside this directory you should see hosts & host_vars, group_vars

Descriptions:

c.Hosts. – is where you will list your servers under specific groups which tell the playbook (what the server is, if it the server should have a specific task run on it, and how to find it)

d.Host_vars – Inside this directory is where you list the server by name which is you will list under hosts. Inside these files you pass variable parameters to the specific roles when running your playbook. Without these the playbook cant do the tasks you want it to.

e.Group_vars – Are how a way to group variables for sets of servers and this keeps code cleaners and easier to manage.

Operational Use:

4.Move inside host_var

f.cd host_var

g.create a file called {{ servername }} and save it for us its testmachine1.nicktailor.com

5.Now inside this directory you should see hosts & host_vars, group_vars

Descriptions:

h.Hosts. – is where you will list your servers under specific groups which tell the playbook (what the server is, if it the server should have a specific task run on it, and how to find it)

i.Host_vars – Inside this directory is where you list the server by name which is you will list under hosts. Inside these files you pass variable parameters to the specific roles when running your playbook. Without these the playbook cant do the tasks you want it to.

j.Group_vars – Are how a way to group variables for sets of servers and this keeps code cleaners and easier to manage.

Operational Use:

6.Move inside host_var

k.cd host_var

l.create a file called {{ servername }} and save it for us its testmachine1.nicktailor.com

m.add the following parameters to your inventory file and save.

passed parameters: example: inventory/host_vars/testmachine.nicktailor.com

vms:

– type: testserver

name: “nicktest“

cpu: 2

memory: 4096MB

network:

ip: 192.168.23.26

netmask: 255.255.255.0

gateway: 192.168.23.254

dns: 192.168.0.17,192.168.0.18

# network_switch: ‘External Virtual Switch’

network_switch: ‘Cisco VIC Ethernet Interface #6 – Virtual Switch’

vlanid: 1113

# source-image

src_vhd: ‘Z:\volumes\devops\devopssysprep\devopssysprep.vhdx‘

# destination will be created in Z:\\volumes\servername\servername.vhdx by default

# to change the paths you need to update the prov_vm.yml’s first three task paths

Running your playbook:

1.You must run your play book from inside parent directory always “ansible”

2.Now there is a playbook called createvm.yml in the ansible directory which simply calls the ansible-hyperv role inside the roles directory.

Example: of ansible/createvm.yml

—

– name: Provision VM

hosts: hypervdev.nicktailor.com

gather_facts: no

tasks:

– import_tasks: roles/ansible-hyperv/tasks/prov_vm.yml

Command:

ansible-playbook –i inventory/dev/hosts createvm.yml ––limit=’testmachine1.nicktailor.com‘

• -i : This flag tells ansibe-playbook command which hosts file to use, these are always defined by environment like hosts.dev or hosts.staging

• -u : this is the ssh_user you will be connecting to the servers with

• -Kkb : this tells ansible that you will be using sudo su – for the ssh_user when running all role/tasks

• -ask-beocme : is saying become root

• -limit=’server’ : this allows you to segement which server you want to run the playbook against.

Successful example run of the book:

[ntailor@ansible-home ~]$ ansible-playbook –i inventory/hosts createvm.yml –limit=’testmachine1.nicktailor.com‘

How to Configure Redhat 7 & 8 Network Interfaces using Ansible

• This role will configure redhat 7 and up interfaces for virtual and physical.
(bonded nics, gateways, routes, interface names)

How to use this role:

1.You must first download the git repository into your roles directory usually ansible/role/

a.git clone https://github.com/Perfect10NickTailor/setup-redhat-interfaces.git

b.https://github.com/Perfect10NickTailor/setup-redhat-interfaces

Example file: hosts.dev, hosts.staging, hosts.prod

c.Put your server under the appropriate group inside the file and save

d.testmachine1 ansible_host=192.168.1.101

Cool Stuff: If you deployed a virtual-machine using the ansible-vmware modules it will set the hostname of the host using the same shortname of the vm. If you require the fqdn vs the shortname on the host. To solve this I added some code to set the fdqn as the new_hostname if you define it under you hosts.file as shown below.

e.testmachine1 ansible_host=192.168.1.101 new_hostname=testmachine1.nicktailor.com

Now inside this directory you should see hosts & host_vars, group_vars

Descriptions:

f.Hosts. – is where you will list your servers under specific groups which tell the playbook (what the server is, if it the server should have a specific task run on it, and how to find it)

g.Host_vars – Inside this directory is where you list the server by name which is you will list under hosts. Inside these files you pass variable parameters to the specific roles when running your playbook. Without these the playbook cant do the tasks you want it to.

h.Group_vars – Are how a way to group variables for sets of servers and this keeps code cleaners and easier to manage.

Operational Use:

3.Move inside host_var

i.cd host_var

j.create a file called {{ servername }} and save it for us its testmachine1.nicktailor.com

4.Now inside this directory you should see hosts & host_vars, group_vars

Descriptions:

k.Hosts. – is where you will list your servers under specific groups which tell the playbook (what the server is, if it the server should have a specific task run on it, and how to find it)

l.Host_vars – Inside this directory is where you list the server by name which is you will list under hosts. Inside these files you pass variable parameters to the specific roles when running your playbook. Without these the playbook cant do the tasks you want it to.

m.Group_vars – Are how a way to group variables for sets of servers and this keeps code cleaners and easier to manage.

Operational Use:

5.Move inside host_var

n.cd host_var

o.create a file called {{ servername }} and save it for us its testmachine1.nicktailor.com

p.add the following parameters to your inventory file and save.

passed parameters: example: var/testmachine1

#Configure network can be used on physical and virtual-machines

nic_devices:

– device: ens192

ip: 192.168.10.100

nm: 255.255.255.0

gw: 192.168.10.254

uuid:

mac:

Note: you do not need to specify the UUID, you can if you wish. You do need the MAC. if you are doing bonded nics on the hosts. If you are using physical machines with satellite deployments. Then its probably a good to idea to use the mac of the nic you want the dhcp request to hit to avoid accidently deploying to the wrong host. When dealing with physical machines you don’t really have the same forgiveness of snapshots or quickly rebuilding as a vm. You can do more complicated configurations as indicated below….You can always email or contact me via linkedin, top right of the blog if you need assistance.

More Advanced configurations: bonded nics, routes, multiple nics and gateways

bond_devices:

– device: ens1

mac: ec:0d:9a:05:3b:f0

master: mgt

eth_opts: ‘-C ${DEVICE} adaptive-rx off rx-usecs 0 rx-frames 0; -K ${DEVICE} lro off’

– device: ens1d1

mac: ec:0d:9a:05:3b:f1

master: mgt

eth_opts: ‘-C ${DEVICE} adaptive-rx off rx-usecs 0 rx-frames 0; -K ${DEVICE} lro off’

– device: mgt

ip: 10.100.1.2

nm: 255.255.255.0

gw: 10.100.1.254

pr: ens1

– device: ens6

mac: ec:0d:9a:05:16:g0

master: app

– device: ens6d1

mac: ec:0d:9a:05:16:g1

master: app

– device: app

ip: 10.101.1.3

nm: 255.255.255.0

pr: ens6

routes:

– device: app

route:

– 100.240.136.0/24

– 100.240.138.0/24

– device: app

gw: 10.156.177.1

route:

– 10.156.148.0/24

Running your playbook:

1.You must run your play book from inside parent directory always “ansible”

2.Now there is a playbook called setup-networkonly.yml in the ansible directory which simply calls the setup-redhat-interfaces role inside the roles directory.

Example: of ansible/ setup-networkonly.yml

– hosts: all

gather_facts: no

roles:

– role: setup-redhat-interfaces

Command:

ansible-playbook -i inventory/dev/hosts setup-networkonly.yml–limit=’testmachine1.nicktailor.com’

• -i : This flag tells ansibe-playbook command which hosts file to use, these are always defined by environment like hosts.dev or hosts.staging

• -u : this is the ssh_user you will be connecting to the servers with

• -Kkb : this tells ansible that you will be using sudo su – for the ssh_user when running all role/tasks

• -ask-beocme : is saying become root

• -limit=’server’ : this allows you to segement which server you want to run the playbook against.

Test Run:

[root@ansible-home]# ansible-playbook –i inventory/dev/hosts setup-metworkonly.yml –limit=’testmachine1.nicktailor.com’ -k

How to Join Windows Servers to your DC with Ansible

• This role will simply join a new windows server to the domain

• You simply need to define the passed parameters in defaults/main.yml indicated below

• This role will ask you for the domain admin password at runtime so you will need to know it. Don’t need to worry about vaulting the admin AD password in the code

• This role assume your windows host is already configured to use winrm

How to use this role:

1.You must first download the git repository into your roles directory usually ansible/role/

a.git clone https://github.com/Perfect10NickTailor/add-server-to-dc.git

b.https://github.com/Perfect10NickTailor/add-server-to-dc

Example file: hosts.dev, hosts.staging, hosts.prod

c.Put your server under the appropriate group inside the file and save

i.Testmachine1.nicktailor.coml ansible_host=192.168.1.101

Note: If there is no group simply list the server outside grouping, the –limit flag will pick it

up.

3.Now inside this directory you should see hosts & host_vars, group_vars

Descriptions:

d.Hosts. – is where you will list your servers under specific groups which tell the playbook (what the server is, if it the server should have a specific task run on it, and how to find it)

e.Host_vars – Inside this directory is where you list the server by name which is you will list under hosts. Inside these files you pass variable parameters to the specific roles when running your playbook. Without these the playbook cant do the tasks you want it to.

f.Group_vars – Are how a way to group variables for sets of servers and this keeps code cleaners and easier to manage.

Operational Use:

4.Move inside host_var

g.cd host_var

h.create a file called {{ servername }} and save it for us its testmachine1.nicktailor.com

5.Now inside this directory you should see hosts & host_vars, group_vars

Descriptions:

i.Hosts. – is where you will list your servers under specific groups which tell the playbook (what the server is, if it the server should have a specific task run on it, and how to find it)

j.Host_vars – Inside this directory is where you list the server by name which is you will list under hosts. Inside these files you pass variable parameters to the specific roles when running your playbook. Without these the playbook cant do the tasks you want it to.

k.Group_vars – Are how a way to group variables for sets of servers and this keeps code cleaners and easier to manage.

Operational Use:

6.Move inside host_var

l.cd host_var

m.create a file called {{ servername }} and save it for us its testmachine1.nicktailor.com

n.add the following parameters to your inventory file and save.

passed parameters: example: roles/add-server-to-dc/default/main.yml

dns_domain_name: ad.nicktailor.com

computer_name: testmachine1

domain_ou_path: “OU=Admin,DC=nicktailor,DC=local”

domain_admin_user: adminuser@nicktailor.com

state: domain

Running your playbook:

1.You must run your play book from inside parent directory always “ansible”

2.Now there is a playbook called joinservertodomain.yml in the ansible directory which simply calls the add-servers-to-dc role inside the roles directory.

Example: of ansible/joinservertodomain.yml

– hosts: all

gather_facts: no

vars_prompt:

– name: domain_pass

prompt: Enter Admin Domain Password

roles:

– role: add–servers-to–dc

Command:

ansible-playbook –i inventory/dev/hosts joinservertodomain.yml ––limit=’testmachine1.nicktailor.com‘

• -i : This flag tells ansibe-playbook command which hosts file to use, these are always defined by environment like hosts.dev or hosts.staging

• -u : this is the ssh_user you will be connecting to the servers with

• -Kkb : this tells ansible that you will be using sudo su – for the ssh_user when running all role/tasks

• -ask-beocme : is saying become root

• -limit=’server’ : this allows you to segement which server you want to run the playbook against.

Successful example run of the book:

[alfred@ansible.nicktailor.com ~]$ ansible-playbook –i inventory/hosts joinservertodomain.yml –limit=’testmachine1.nicktailor.com‘

How to deploy OpenNebula Frontends via Ansible

Frontend: This role deploys the OpenNebula Cloud platform frontends via Ansible

Ansible Operational Documentation – OpenNebula Frontend Deployments

https://opennebula.io/ – OpenNebula is basically a opensource inhouse cloud platform that you can deploy and manage virtual machines using a kvm backend on the host which is scalable. OpenNebula support give you a document to run manual commands, and would not provide the opensource playbook they use to deploy frontends.

So I reverse engineered one for others to use and edit as needed. As nobody runs commands manually anymore. If you are not automating then you are basically a dinosaur

Note: You will still need to buy your own enterprise license to get access to the apt source. You can find that below and you can plug those into defaults/main.yml before you run the book.

This role handles the following when deploying OpenNebula Frontends in standalone or HA using groups to distinguish how to deploy in scale using apache.

◦ Apache.yml – separate task that independently deploys apache and the configutation. This is so if you simply if wanted to run rerun the apache configuration with a new domain, you don’t need to rerun the whole book.

◦ Mysql.yml – this task uses a custom python library that is not apart of native ansible, located in side the library folder and handles the following

✔It deploys mysql

✔It changes the root password

✔Removes_anonymous_user

✔Disables_root_login_remotely

✔Removes the testdb

✔It will create the database, user, and grantpermission for new the new database

◦ Main.yml – This is the primary task that deploys the ON frontend

✔Install depenancies for ON

✔Imports the keys for Ubuntu, phusionpassenger, ON

✔Install and configures mysql (using custom python library)

✔Install and configures apache for ON

✔Configures sunstone.conf

✔Configures oned.conf

✔Is able to distinguish between standalone and HA setup

✔Copies ssh keys for ON to secondary FE’s

✔Copies rafthook scripts to secondary FE’s

✔Adds primary server to ON zone

✔Updates zone endpoint

✔Backups up primary mysql db and copies to secondary nodes in HA

✔Setups up federation configuration if defined

✔Stop and starts services at specific times during the installation for everything to work correctly. (super important) do not change the order without reviewing

How to use this role:

1.You must first download the git repository

a.https://github.com/Perfect10NickTailor/opennebula-frontends

b.git clone git@github.com:Perfect10NickTailor/opennebula-frontends.git

2.Under your user you will see a directory called opennebula-frontends cd into this directory

c.cd opennebula-frontends

3.Move inside the inventory directory to the appropriate client directory

a.Create a file called hosts.opennebula

4.Now you want edit the {{ hosts.opennebula }} file name file or create it if it doesn’t exist

Example file: hosts.opennebula

d.Put your server under the appropriate group inside the file and save

Example: This is how you would list out 3 frontend hosts

[all:children]

frontend_server_primary # this is where you list ON server number 1

mysql_servers – you list any server that will require mysql install for ON

apache_servers – you list any server that will be running ON apache

frontend_HA – you list any additional front ends that will be used in HA here for OpenNebula

[frontend_server_primary]

Testmachine1 ansible_host=192.168.86.61

[mysql_servers]

Testmachine1 ansible_host=192.168.86.61

Testmachine2 ansible_host=192.168.86.62

#Testmachine3 ansibel_host=192.168.86.63

[apache_servers]

Testmachine1 ansible_host=192.168.86.61

Testmachine2 ansible_host=192.168.86.62

#Testmachine3 ansibel_host=192.168.86.63

[frontend_HA]

Testmachine2 ansible_host=192.168.86.62

#Testmachine3 ansible_host=192.168.86.63

Note: For a standalone setup you simply list the same host under the following 3 groups listed below and then in your command under –limt=”testmachine1” instead of ‘testmachine1,testmachine2′. The playbook is smart enough to know what to do from there.

[frontend_server_primary]

Testmachine1 ansible_host=192.168.86.63

[mysql_servers]

Testmachine1 ansible_host=192.168.86.63

[apache_servers]

Testmachine1 ansible_host=192.168.86.63

Special Notes: This playbook is designed so you can choose deploy ON in standalone, in classic centralised mysql(HA), or OpenNebula HA(with mysql deploy individually with rafthook configuration.

We will be deploying the OpenNebula officially supported way.
Although no senior architect would usually choose this approach over classic mysql HA(active/passive), we followed it anyway.

Important things to know:

Group variables for this role that are passed and need to be defined below. If you want to change certificates and configure mysql it has to be done in these group vars for this role to work. You will need to create opennebula ssl keys for the vnc console stuff to work, they are not provided by this playbook.

Dev/group_vars:

●Frontend_server_primary

session_memcache: memcache

vnc_proxy_support_wss: true

vnc_proxy_cert_path: /etc/ssl/certs/opennebula.pem

vnc_proxy_key_path: /etc/ssl/private/opennebula.key

vnc_proxy_ipv6: false

vnc_request_password: false

driver: qcow2

●Frontend_HA

#If these are defined HA setup is pushed.

#It Adds VIP hooks for floating IP and federation server ID:

#these variables can be overidden at at the host_var level.

#If host is listed under frontend_HA group in your host

#then these defaults will be used

leader_interface_name: enp0s8

leader_ip: 192.168.50.132/24

follower_ip: 192.168.50.132/24

follower_interface_name: enp0s8

Mysql_servers

OpenNebula Mysql Installation

mysqlrootuser: root

mysqlnewinstallpassword: Swordfish123

mysql_admin_user: admin

mysql_admin_password: admin

database_to_create: opennebula

Running your playbook:

1.You must run your play book from inside parent directory of ansible”

2.There is a file called commands.txt with references to help you format your command quickly.

3.Now there is a playbook called ON-frontenddeploly.yml in the ansible directory which simply calls the opennebula-frontends role inside the roles directory.

Example: of opennebula-frontend/ON-frontenddeploy.yml

– hosts: all

become: True

become_user: root

gather_facts: no

roles:

– role: opennebula-frontend

Command: Running – playbook to deploy OpenNebula in HA

ansible-playbook -i inventory/dev/hosts ON-frontenddeploy.yml -u brucewayne -Kkb –ask-become –limit=’testmachine1,testmachine2′

Command: Running – playbook to deploy OpenNebula in Standalone

ansible-playbook -i inventory/dev/hosts ON-frontenddeploy.yml -u brucewayne -Kkb –ask-become –limit=’testmachine1′

●-i : This flag tells ansibe-playbook command which hosts file to use, these are always defined by customer like hosts.opennebla2

●-u : this is the ssh_user you will be connecting to the servers with

●-Kkb : this tells ansible that you will be using sudo su – for the ssh_user when running all role/tasks

●-ask-beocme : is saying become root

●-limit=’server’ : this allows you to segement which server you want to run the playbook against.

Successful run:

brucewayne@KVM–test–box:~/ansible/opennebula-frontend$ ansible–playbook –i inventory/dev/hosts.opennebula2 ON–frontenddeploy.yml –u brucewayne –Kkb —ask–become —limit=‘testmachine1,testmachine2’

SSH password:

BECOME password[defaults to SSH password]:

How to deploy windows firewall rules with Ansible

• This role enable the windows firewall for all 3 profiles (Domain, Private, Public)

• You can deploy rules via profile or globally using defaults, group_vars and host_vars

• You also can set outbound rules for windows programs

How to use this role:

1.You must first download the git repository into your roles directory usually ansible/role/

a.git clone git@github.com:Perfect10NickTailor/ansible-windows-firewall.git

Example file: hosts.dev, hosts.staging, hosts.prod

b.Put your server under the appropriate group inside the file and save

i.devops.nicktailor.win ansible_host=192.168.90.10

Note: If there is no group simply list the server outside grouping, the –limit flag will pick it

up.

3.Now inside this directory you should see hosts & host_vars, group_vars

Note: If you do not create a group_var/groupfile or host_var/server file. Then the default/main.yml rules are implemented by this role, you can update this file to have whichever defaults you like and they can be overridden at the group_var and host_var level, should you need to.

Descriptions:

c.Hosts. – is where you will list your servers under specific groups which tell the playbook (what the server is, if it the server should have a specific task run on it, and how to find it)

e.Group_vars – Are how a way to group variables for sets of servers and this keeps code cleaners and easier to manage.

Operational Use:

4.Move inside host_var

f.cd host_var

g.create a file called {{ servername }} and save it for us its devops.nicktailor.win

5.Now inside this directory you should see hosts & host_vars, group_vars

Descriptions:

h.Hosts. – is where you will list your servers under specific groups which tell the playbook (what the server is, if it the server should have a specific task run on it, and how to find it)

j.Group_vars – Are how a way to group variables for sets of servers and this keeps code cleaners and easier to manage.

Operational Use:

6.Move inside host_var

k.cd host_var

l.create a file called {{ servername }} and save it for us its devops.nicktailor.win

Okay now here is where VSC is handy. You want to connect your visual studio code to the management server under your user. I have provided a link which shows you how to setup your keys and get VSC working with it.

Note: You don’t have to use VSC you can use good old nano or vim, but it’s a pain. Up to you.

defaults/main.yml – this file is the default rules it will apply if you do not add any other rules currently

—

# defaults file for windows_firewall

win_fw_prefix: “Ansible-Created-Rule”

win_fw_ports_allow_in:

– localport: 53,

profile: public

– localport: 123,

profile: public

win_fw_web_ports:

– localport: 80,

profile: public

– localport: 443,

profile: public

– localport: 8080,

profile: public

win_fw_program_allowed_web_out_public:

– ‘microsoftupdate.exe’

Running your playbook:

1.You must run your play book from inside parent directory always “ansible”

2.Now there is a playbook called nickfirewall.yml in the ansible directory which simply calls the windows-firewall role inside the roles directory.

Example: of ansible/ nickfirewall.yml

– hosts: all

gather_facts: yes

any_errors_fatal: true

roles:

– role: ansible-windows-firewall

Command:

ansible-playbook –i inventory/dev/hosts nickfirewall.yml ––limit=’devops.nicktailor.win‘

• -i : This flag tells ansibe-playbook command which hosts file to use, these are always defined by environment like hosts.dev or hosts.staging

• -u : this is the ssh_user you will be connecting to the servers with

• -Kkb : this tells ansible that you will be using sudo su – for the ssh_user when running all role/tasks

• -ask-beocme : is saying become root

• -limit=’server’ : this allows you to segement which server you want to run the playbook against.

How to deploy multiple sites in IIS with Ansible

This was fun and interesting little project. Looks like nobody ever really got it working properly, so I decided to do it.

• This role will install IIS if its not already installed

• It will also configure all the user permissions needed for IIS

• It will configure a default application pool

• This role will allow you to call the ansible role once and create multiple sites in IIS and attach the sites to the default application pool

• It will also configure the bindings

•You can also remove, start, and stop sites

You can also upload your own custom web.config

Additions that are not in any public repo online currently. If you require these additions for your organisation, you may hire or pay for the additions:

Ability to create multiple application pools per site.
Set application pool identities
Update IIS site paths to use a NAS location vs physical paths only

Note: You will likely have to add the firewall rules depending on how your network setup. I have written a windows playbook to handle the firewall stuff, but that will be in another post. You will also need to ensure winrm is configured properly on the windows machine for ansible to talk to it.

Ansible Operational Documentation:

1.You must first download the git repository into your roles directory usually ansible/role/

a.git clone https://github.com/Perfect10NickTailor/ansible-role-win-iis

2.Now you want to edit the hosts.client file name file or create it if it doesn’t exist under your “ansible/inventory/dev:staging:prod” directory. This is a good way to separate environments with ansible, inside each environment you should have a hosts.file like indicated below.

Example file: hosts.dev, hosts.staging, hosts.prod

b.Put your server under the appropriate group inside the file and save

i.devops.nicktailor.win ansible_host=192.168.90.10

Note: If there is no group simply list the server outside grouping, the –limit flag will pick it

up.

3.Now inside this directory you should see hosts & host_vars, group_vars

Descriptions:

c.Hosts. – is where you will list your servers under specific groups which tell the playbook (what the server is, if it the server should have a specific task run on it, and how to find it)

e.Group_vars – Are how a way to group variables for sets of servers and this keeps code cleaners and easier to manage.

Operational Use:

4.Move inside host_var

f.cd host_var

g.create a file called {{ servername }} and save it for us its devops.nicktailor.win

5.Now inside this directory you should see hosts & host_vars, group_vars

Descriptions:

h.Hosts. – is where you will list your servers under specific groups which tell the playbook (what the server is, if it the server should have a specific task run on it, and how to find it)

j.Group_vars – Are how a way to group variables for sets of servers and this keeps code cleaners and easier to manage.

Operational Use:

6.Move inside host_var

k.cd host_var

l.create a file called {{ servername }} and save it for us its devops.nicktailor.win

Okay now here is where VSC is handy. You want to connect your visual studio code to the management server under your user.

Note: You don’t have to use VSC you can use good old nano or vim, but it’s a pain. Up to you.

Example files:

ansible/inventory/dev/host_vars/devops.nicktailor.win

Example Yaml Block :

domains:

– name: “First website”

host_header: ”

ip: ‘*’

iis_binding_port: ‘8082’

protocol: ‘http’

state: ‘absent’

certificate_hash: ”

certificate_store_name: ‘My’

iis_site_name: ‘Default Web Site’

iis_site_path: ‘C:\inetpub\wwwroot1′

iis_acl_path: ‘C:\inetpub\wwwroot1′

iis_site_state: absent

iis_site_port: ’80’

iis_site_id: ”

iis_site_ip: ‘*’

iis_site_ssl: false

iis_site_hostname: ‘*’

iis_site_parameters: ”

iis_site_state_start: stopped

iis_site_web_config: ”

iis_site_web_config_force: true

– name: “Second website”

host_header: ”

ip: ‘*’

iis_binding_port: ‘8081’

protocol: ‘http’

state: ‘present’

certificate_hash: ”

certificate_store_name: ‘My’

iis_site_name: ‘site2’

iis_acl_path: ‘C:\inetpub\wwwroot2′

iis_site_path: ‘C:\inetpub\wwwroot2′

iis_site_state: present

iis_site_port: ’80’

iis_site_id: ”

iis_site_ip: ‘*’

iis_site_ssl: false

iis_site_hostname: ‘*’

iis_site_parameters: ”

iis_site_state_start: started

iis_site_web_config: ”

iis_site_web_config_force: true

Running your playbook:

1.You must run your play book from inside parent directory always “ansible”

2.Now there is a playbook called nickwiniis.yml in the ansible directory which simply calls the ansible-role-win-iis role inside the roles directory.

Example: of ansible/nickwiniis.yml

– hosts: all

gather_facts: yes

any_errors_fatal: true

roles:

– role: ansible-role-win-iis

Command:

ansible-playbook –i inventory/dev/hosts nickwiniis.yml -u nick –Kkb –limit=’devops.nicktailor.win‘

• -i : This flag tells ansibe-playbook command which hosts file to use, these are always defined by environment like hosts.dev or hosts.staging

• -u : this is the ssh_user you will be connecting to the servers with

• -Kkb : this tells ansible that you will be using sudo su – for the ssh_user when running all role/tasks

• -ask-beocme : is saying become root

• -limit=’server’ : this allows you to segement which server you want to run the playbook against.

Successful example run of the book:

[ntailor@ansible.nicktailor.com]$ ansible–playbook –i hosts/dev nickwiniis.yml —limit=‘devops.nicktailor.win‘
