Ansible - Create your first playbook

[@aritra1414]

Cool. Enjoying the step by step processes. I wish you taught it as a full length course and in more deeper level.

[@mwandamwanda6105]

hi could you have a look at template creation , seems video recording skips past it

[@DevOpsJourney]

I'm so sorry about that. This video is more up to date and includes chapters. You might be able to find an exmplanation in here: ua-cam.com/video/tpDXmm7aPAE/v-deo.html

@@DevOpsJourney Yes, I noticed, that the creation of the index.html.j2 file and the playbook reference to it
is still missing

[@simplyviki]

Just subscribed, I have a question, for a project that is working on containers using ECS and infra using Terraform, do you think Ansible will come into play ? because for configuration we'll mostly use docker prebaked images or prebaked AMIs for servers or put instructions in dockerfile to configure the image, As I am learning the relevant tools, wanted to know if I would spend time learning Ansible or learn other things?

[@DevOpsJourney]

I think if you are using prebaked AMIs and docker images you probably wont need much ansible. However it may be good to update and maintain the AMIs using it. It all really depends.
Learning more in depth docker or even kubernetes might be a good idea!

@@DevOpsJourney Thanks for your feedback

[@ankitbillore8221]

why we use -K as option ,
-a is for arguments right .??

[@DevOpsJourney]

I believe -K is no longer needed and you can just specify the playbook name. If you type ansible-playbook --help you should get a list of all the arguments and what they do

Not a good tutorial. Use the command line only next time because a lot of people aren't going to understand or know how to set up/use visual studio.

Thank you for the feedback :)
