Understanding Ansible Inventory and Playbooks

Описание: Next, let's delve into Ansible's inventory and playbooks. Ansible's inventory is a file that lists all the machines you want to manage. Inventories can be in simple text files or dynamic scripts that generate lists of hosts. Each host can be grouped, allowing you to run tasks on groups instead of individual machines. Playbooks are the heart of Ansible, written in YAML format. They define a series of tasks that Ansible will execute on your inventory hosts. A playbook can manage configurations, deploy applications, and orchestrate tasks. Understanding how to structure both your inventory and playbooks is crucial for efficient environment management. By managing your inventory and structuring playbooks effectively, you can orchestrate complex deployments with ease.
