REEL v/s REAL Use Case Of Ansible. A webinar with Expertise from Redhat Industry
RESPECTED Speakers,
Topics Discussed
This article will have some questions to make you ponder about it and then the answers to improvise the level of understanding.
▪️What is Automation?
✔the program for machines to perform the task where no manual intervention is requires while processing.
▪️In what ways we can use automation?
✔Automate Infrastructure, Configure web server, configure database server, Provision instance on cloud, setting up of VPC, launching cluster services, orchestration, and so on.
▪️Why scaling is needed?
✔serves as a backup when one of the working systems/server/nodes goes down.
▪️What challenges we can solve using Ansible Tower?
✔provides us with an API, with Role-Based Access Control, along with scheduling features.
allows to run one playbook after another with a success and fail scenario.
CHATOPS — integrated slack by using ansible tower
For GitOps functionality
▪️What is the Job Template in Ansible Tower?
✔Template in Ansible Tower is just another name of Playbook used for automation.
One can also launch multiple playbooks at the same time via Ansible Tower.
▪️How can we use credentials in Ansible Tower?
✔ be used for adding most clouds like oracle, digital ocean, etc, IBM Cloud.
We can create our own credentials type and ansible is made on python so we can create the python virtual environment for that tool and use it by the playbook or ansible tower
▪️How can we integrate Ansible Tower with Cloud & Notification based Applications?
✔we can launch and configure any services over the cloud via Ansible Tower with uttermost security.
Eg. setting up VPC, provisioning of Instance, security Groups, various subnet and their configuration, and much more.
We saw the GUI as well as the CLI of the Ansible Tower application and many industry use cases for eg the setting up a VPC (a private network office building with several subnets as LAB, and much more…) over the cloud that will have the utmost security and automated sub-services too.
Now, many of us may be wondering, ok ansible tower cares for every service launched, and to maintain the uptime, several clusters are there which again get activated via ansible.
BUT, what if an ansible tower falls down?
The answer to this lies in the question, as the name suggests the infrastructure is like a tower, which means it itself has many redundancy clusters to keep it backed up always.
