• Create by PERjham / [email protected] Requirements You will need five RHEL 8 virtual machines to be able to successfully complete all questions. One VM will be configured as an Ansible control node. Other four VMs will be used to apply playbooks to solve the sample exam questions. The following FQDNs will be used throughout the sample exam. • controller.example.com – Ansible control node • node1.example.com – managed host • node2.example.com – managed host • node3.example.com – managed host • node4.example.com – managed host There are a couple of requiremens that should be met before proceeding further: • controller.example.com server has passwordless SSH access to all managed servers (using the root user). • node2.example.com server and node3.example.com have a 2GB secondary /dev/vdb disk attached. • node4.example.com server has a 512MB secondary /dev/vdb and a 1GB terciary /dev/vdc disk attached. • There are no regular users created on any of the servers. TASK 1: Ansible Installation and Configuration Install ansible package on the controller node (including any dependencies) and configure the following: • Create a regular user ansible with the password of redhat. Use this user for all sample exam tasks and playbooks, unless you are working on the task that requires creating the automation user on inventory hosts. You have root access to all five servers. • All playbooks and other Ansible configuration that you create for this sample exam should be stored in /home/automation/plays. Create a configuration file /home/automation/plays/ansible.cfg to meet the following requirements: • The roles path should include /home/automation/plays/roles, as well as any other path that may be required for the course of the sample exam. • The inventory file path is /home/automation/plays/inventory. • Privilege escalation is disabled by default. • Ansible should be able to manage 10 hosts at a single time. • Ansible should connect to all managed nodes using the automation user. Create an inventory file /home/automation/
