Lab 15 - Ansible

Ansible

Pre-reqs

Uma VM com a imagem Amazon Linux que será usada como destino do playbook
O terminal do AWS Academy Learner Lab será usado como bastion para rodar os playbooks do Ansible

Instalação (no terminal do AWS Academy Learner Lab)

Instalar o ansible via pip:

 $ pip install ansible

                pattern

 Define and run a single task 'playbook' against a set of hosts

 positional arguments:

   --ask-vault-password, --ask-vault-pass
                         ask for vault password

                         anything else
   --playbook-dir BASEDIR
                         Since this tool does not use playbooks, use this as a
                         substitute playbook directory.This sets the relative
                         path for many features including roles/ group_vars/
                         etc.
   --syntax-check        perform a syntax check on the playbook, but do not
                         execute it
   --task-timeout TASK_TIMEOUT
                         set task timeout limit in seconds, must be positive
                         integer.
   --vault-id VAULT_IDS  the vault identity to use
   --vault-password-file VAULT_PASSWORD_FILES, --vault-pass-file VAULT_PASSWORD_FILES

                         configured module search path, module location,
                         executable location and exit
   -B SECONDS, --background SECONDS
                         run asynchronously, failing after X seconds
                         (default=N/A)
   -C, --check           don't make any changes; instead, try to predict some
                         of the changes that may occur
   -D, --diff            when changing (small) files and templates, show the
                         differences in those files; works great with --check
   -M MODULE_PATH, --module-path MODULE_PATH
                         prepend colon-separated path(s) to module library (def
                         ault=~/.ansible/plugins/modules:/usr/share/ansible/plu

                         'opt1=val1 opt2=val2'
   -e EXTRA_VARS, --extra-vars EXTRA_VARS
                         set additional variables as key=value or YAML/JSON, if
                         filename prepend with @

 Privilege Escalation Options:
   control how and which user you become as on target hosts

   --become-method BECOME_METHOD
                         privilege escalation method to use (default=sudo), use

 Some actions do not make sense in Ad-Hoc (include, meta, etc)

Uso do `ansible`

Baixar os templates:

 $ git clone https://github.com/josecastillolema/fiap

 $ cd fiap/cld/multicloud/lab15-ansible/

Atualizar o conteúdo do arquivo hosts com o endereço da máquina virtual Amazon Linux e testar o acesso a máquina virtual:

 $ ansible all -m  ping -i hosts --key-file ~/.ssh/labsuser.pem
 ec2-user@ec2-54-145-72-182.compute-1.amazonaws.com | SUCCESS => {
     "ansible_facts": {
         "discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/bin/python"
     },
     "changed": false,
     "ping": "pong"
 }

Uso do `ansible-playbook`

Invocar o playbook template:

 $ ansible-playbook deploy-flask.yaml -i hosts --key-file ~/.ssh/labsuser.pem
 PLAY [webservers] *******************************************************************************

 TASK [Gathering Facts] **************************************************************************
 ok: [ec2-user@ec2-54-145-72-182.compute-1.amazonaws.com]

 TASK [install pip] ******************************************************************************
 changed: [ec2-user@ec2-54-145-72-182.compute-1.amazonaws.com]

 PLAY RECAP **************************************************************************************
 ec2-user@ec2-54-145-72-182.compute-1.amazonaws.com : ok=2    changed=1    unreachable=0    failed=0    skipped=0    rescued=0    ignored=0  

Na 1a execução do playbook, veja que o pip foi instalado (changed=1). Se rodar-mos o playbook outra vez, não haberá mudanças na VM (changed=0):

 $ ansible-playbook deploy-flask.yaml -i hosts --key-file ~/.ssh/labsuser.pem
 PLAY [webservers] *******************************************************************************

 TASK [Gathering Facts] **************************************************************************
 ok: [ec2-user@ec2-54-145-72-182.compute-1.amazonaws.com]

 TASK [install pip] ******************************************************************************
 ok: [ec2-user@ec2-54-145-72-182.compute-1.amazonaws.com]

 PLAY RECAP **************************************************************************************
 ec2-user@ec2-54-145-72-182.compute-1.amazonaws.com : ok=2    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=0    skipped=0    rescued=0    ignored=0   

Concluir o playbook com os restantes passos para o correto deploy da aplicação (consultar o lab de Beanstalk - deploy em uma VM do EC2):
- Copiar os arquivos da aplicação (ou clonar este repositório git)
- Instalação das dependencias Python usando o pip (arquivo requirements)
- Execução da aplicação
