Working with playbooks
|
||
|
|
======================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Playbooks record and execute Ansible's configuration, deployment, and orchestration functions.
|
||
|
|
They can describe a policy you want your remote systems to enforce, or a set of steps in a general IT process.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If Ansible modules are the tools in your workshop, playbooks are your instruction manuals, and your inventory of hosts are your raw material.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
At a basic level, playbooks can be used to manage configurations of and deployments to remote machines.
|
||
|
|
At a more advanced level, they can sequence multi-tier rollouts involving rolling updates, and can delegate actions to other hosts, interacting with monitoring servers and load balancers along the way.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Playbooks are designed to be human-readable and are developed in a basic text language.
|
||
|
|
There are multiple ways to organize playbooks and the files they include, and we'll offer up some suggestions on that and making the most out of Ansible.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You should look at `Example Playbooks <https://github.com/ansible/ansible-examples>`_ while reading along with the playbook documentation.
|
||
|
|
These illustrate best practices as well as how to put many of the various concepts together.
