What is Automation?
Automation is a broad term that can cover many areas of technology where human input is minimized. This can include everything from business-specific types such as: business process automation (BPA), IT automation, marketing automation and industrial automation. It also covers personal applications such as home automation. This article focuses on the main business-specific automation areas of IT automation and BPA.
What is ANSIBLE?
Ansible is a software tool that provides simple but powerful automation for cross-platform computer support. It is primarily intended for IT professionals, who use it for application deployment, updates on workstations and servers, cloud provisioning, configuration management, intra-service orchestration, and nearly anything a systems administrator does on a weekly or daily basis. Ansible doesn’t depend on agent software and has no additional security infrastructure, so it’s easy to deploy.
What is Ansible Tower?
Ansible Tower (formerly ‘AWX’) is a web-based solution that makes Ansible even more easy to use for IT teams of all kinds. It’s designed to be the hub for all of your automation tasks. … Tower is free for usage for up to 10 nodes, and comes bundled with amazing support from Ansible, Inc.
In the demo session what we studied 👇:
PROVISIONING AWS CLOUD WITH THE HELP OF ANSIBLE TOWER:
Creating VPC, Subnet, and the complete architecture with Ansible and provisioning an EC2 instance on top of that using Ansible Playbook.We use the playbook as a template in Ansible Tower and provide credential authentication to AWS, once the parameters are satisfied we can launch the template.
ANSIBLE TOWER WORKFLOW:
The word “workflow” says it all. This particular feature in Ansible Tower (available as of version 3.1) enables users to create sequences consisting of any combination of job templates, project syncs, and inventory syncs that are linked together in order to execute them as a single unit. Because of this, workflows can help you organize playbooks and job templates into separate groups.
USE OF NOTIFICATION TEMPLATES 👇.
Job Templates will use notification templates defined on it as well as inheriting notification templates from the Project used by the Job Template and from the Organization that it is listed under (via the Project).Here we use SLACK.
PROVISIONING ORACLE CLOUD INFRASTRUCURE:
Installing Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (oci module) using pip.
Provisioning a CentOs7 Instance on top of Custom Architecture on OCI created
Creating Python Virtual Environment
Thanks to Mr. Sreejith Anujan sir and Mr. Arun Eapen sir to share industry knowledge whith us, this session added lots of meaning on top of our current learning , with interactive Q&A.Got a chance to learn many new technical terms and got to see live of industry standard tools like Ansible Tower, Redhat VM’s and their configuration online, ChatOps . orchestration meaning ans lot of new things.Also thanks to our great mentor The world record holder Vimal daga Sir and Preeti Chandak Ma’am who give us this opportunity that we all have a great future ahead.
