2 months agoI think it is a great way to document what you have done too. Especially with larger setups this can be quite time-intensive.
Then add that you may want to dynamically reconfigure your systems to interact with each other and then Ansibles template-rendering comes in really handy.
Finally, it is standardized - so other peopke can work with it too (relevant in work context).
Sorry, but I fear not. Ansible has a good getting started out there, but I think you’ll learn the most just using it.
Maybe a broad roadmap… Try to add systems. Test them via Ansible-Ping. Change some configs (add file, add line-in-file). Add handlers to react to changes by restarting services. Add host variables and customize behavior per host. Add templates…
