<p>Playbooks are a completely different way to use ansible and are particularly awesome.</p>
|
|
<p>They are the basis for a really simple configuration management and deployment system, unlike any that already exist, and one that is very well suited to deploying complex multi-machine applications. While you might run the main ansible program for ad-hoc tasks, playbooks are more likely to be kept in source control and used to push out your configuration or assure the configurations of your remote systems are in spec.</p>

<div class="section" id="playbook-example">
|
|
<h2>Playbook Example<a class="headerlink" href="#playbook-example" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Playbooks are expressed in YAML format and have a minimum of syntax. Each playbook is composed
|
|
of one or more patterns in a list. By composing a playbook of multiple patterns, it is possible
|
|
to orchestrate multi-machine deployments, running certain steps on all machines in
|
|
the webservers group, then certain steps on the database server group, then more commands
|
|
back on the webservers group, etc:</p>
|
|

<div class="section" id="hosts-line">
|
|
<h2>Hosts line<a class="headerlink" href="#hosts-line" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
|
<p>The hosts line is alist of one or more groups or host patterns, seperated by colons.</p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<div>webservers:dbservers:<a href="#id1"><span class="problematic" id="id2">*</span></a>.foo.example.com</div></blockquote>

</div>
|
|
<div class="section" id="vars-section">
|
|
<h2>Vars section<a class="headerlink" href="#vars-section" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
|
<p>A list of variables that can be used in the ‘action’ lines of the template, or in
|
|
included templates. Variables are deferenced like this:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>{{ varname }}</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>These variables will be pushed down to the managed systems for use in templating operations.</p>
|
|
<p>Further, if there are discovered variables about the system (say, if facter or ohai were
|
|
installed) these variables bubble up back into the playbook, and can be used on each
|
|
system just like explicitly set variables. Facter variables are prefixed with ‘facter’
|
|
and Ohai variables are prefixed with ‘ohai’.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section" id="tasks-list">
|
|
<h2>Tasks list<a class="headerlink" href="#tasks-list" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Tasks are executed in order, one at a time, against all machines matched by the host
|
|
pattern, before moving on to the next task. Failed tasks are taken out of the rotation.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section" id="task-name-and-comment">
|
|
<h2>Task name and comment<a class="headerlink" href="#task-name-and-comment" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Each task has a name (required) and optional comment. This is for informational purposes only</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section" id="task-action">
|
|
<h2>Task action<a class="headerlink" href="#task-action" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
|
<p>The action line is the name of an ansible module followed by parameters. Usually these
|
|
are expressed in key=value form, except for the command module, which looks just like a Linux/Unix
|
|
command line. See the module documentation for more info.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section" id="notify-statements">
|
|
<h2>Notify statements<a class="headerlink" href="#notify-statements" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Nearly all modules are written to be ‘idempotent’ and can signal when they have affected a change
|
|
on the remote system. If a notify statement is used, the named handler will be run against
|
|
each system where a change was effected, but NOT on systems where no change occurred.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section" id="handlers">
|
|
<h2>Handlers<a class="headerlink" href="#handlers" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Handlers are lists of tasks, not really any different from regular tasks, that are referenced
|
|
by name.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section" id="includes">
|
|
<h2>Includes<a class="headerlink" href="#includes" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Not all tasks have to be listed directly in the main file. An include file can contain
|
|
a list of tasks (in YAML) as well, optionally passing extra variables into the file.
|
|
Variables passed in can be deferenced like this:</p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<div>{{ variable }}</div></blockquote>
