Goals
This section is meant to demonstrate a few Ansible operations with Ubuntu servers.
Infrastructure and user accounts
| Host | Role | User | Password |
|---|---|---|---|
| uvm0 | control node | aadmin | apass00 |
| uvm26 | managed node | aadmin | apass26 |
| uvm27 | managed node | aadmin | apass27 |
In this case, a node is a virtual machine.
An automation administrator is meant to perform these operations with the help of user accounts called aadmin. These accounts do not necessarily have to have the same names. Moreover, they need elevated privileges only on the managed nodes.
Networking
The aadmin@uvm0 should be able to ping any of the managed nodes. In this particular case, all nodes belong to the same local area network.
