Automation Using Ansible -Demo (Practical Implementation)

On 28th December I attended a great session based on Automation using Ansible DEMO and practical with the best experts Mr.Sreejith Anujan sir he is The Principal Instructor at Red Hat and Mr.Arun Eapen sir (Director, APAC Service Delivery, GLS RedHat Asia Pacific)

The session was based on practical demo of automation using ansible and industry use case. In todays generation the most important is to learn how to implement what ever we learn if someone learns a lot about any technology but doesn't know how to implement that than there is no use to invest this much time , so this session gave us a clear scenario about the implementation of Ansible Tower and its features.

What is automation?

Automation is a technology which eliminates most of manual work in any tasks. Automation is very easy way to handle multiple tasks at a time, that is the reason industry in moving toward technology like automation.

Ansible is a radically simple IT automation engine that automates cloud provisioning, configuration management, application deployment, intra-service orchestration, and many other IT needs.

features:

1.Multi-playbook workflow

multi-playbook workflow helps when we want to run one playbook after another and also we can create option in workflow if one way doesn’t work then run other option.

2. Real time job status updates

Ansible tower shows job updates like completed, failed or active.

3. Handles credentials for cloud services like AWS, IBM cloud,etc

When you assign a job to a team, you can give grant to use credentials without giving them actual credentials.

4. Job templates

Job templates are use to run same task many times . First you need to create template and then use it.

5. Notification

A Notification is a manifestation of the notification template; for example, when a job fails, a notification is sent using the configuration defined by the notification template.

Also there are some platform which do not support python but we all know that behind the scene ansible uses python so ansible tower also have solution for such issue and we learnt many more such exceptional cases .

it was a great session with the great people…

hope you all enjoyed my blog
