How Ansible Works? *Controller* In Ansible, the "controller" is the machine where you run Ansible commands or playbooks Ansible controller is the machine or server that manages the configuration and deployment of software to other machines (hosts) The controller can be any machine that meets the requirements for running Ansible, such as a laptop, a desktop computer, a virtual machine, or a cloud-based instance *Host* Ansible host is any machine that Ansible is managing This can be a physical server, a virtual machine, or a cloud-based instance Inventory File lists the IP addresses or domain names of those servers (hosts), and categorizes them under a group e.g. "groupA" You might also specify some properties for each server, such as the username and password needed to connect to it over SSH Once you have defined your inventory, you can write Ansible playbooks that target specific groups or individual hosts For example, you might write a playbook that installs a web server software package on all the hosts in the "groupA" group ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Every Like & Subscription gives me great motivation to keep working for you You can support my mission for education by sharing this knowledge and helping as many people as you can If my work has helped you, consider helping any animal near you, in any way you can Never Stop Learning Raghav Pal ▬▬▬▬ USEFUL LINKS ▬▬▬▬ Ask Raghav - https://bit.ly/2CoJGWf Shorts Eng - https://bit.ly/3H9bifV Shorts Hindi - https://bit.ly/3XY7XqN GitHub Repositories - https://github.com/Raghav-Pal Udemy Discounts - https://automationstepbystep.com/udemy-discounts/ Stories - https://automationstepbystep.com/stories/ ▬▬ CI | CD | DEVOPS ▬▬ Jenkins Beginner - https://bit.ly/2MIn8EC Jenkins Tips & Trick - https://bit.ly/2LRt6xC Docker - https://bit.ly/2MInnzx Jenkinsfile - https://bit.ly/3JSMSZ7 Kubernetes - http://bit.ly/2MJIlMK ▬▬ UI TESTING ▬▬ Selenium Beginners - https://bit.ly/2MGRS8K Selenium Java Framework from Scratch - https://bit.ly/2N9xvR6 Selenium Python - https://bit.ly/2oyMp5x Selenium 4 - https://bit.ly/3AiJOlP Selenium Tips - https://bit.ly/2owxc50 Selenium Builder - https://bit.ly/2MKNtlq Katalon Studio - https://bit.ly/2wARFdi Robot Framework with RIDE- https://bit.ly/2Px6Ue9 Robot Framework with Eclipse - http://bit.ly/2N8DZxb Cucumber BDD - https://bit.ly/3Cnno4z Cypress - https://bit.ly/3PpEukM Playwright - https://bit.ly/3iuPByJ WebdriverIO - https://bit.ly/3IJyofA XPath & Web Locators - https://bit.ly/3PpEvoQ ▬▬ API TESTING ▬▬ Web Services (API) - https://bit.ly/2MGafL7 SoapUI - https://bit.ly/2MGahmd Postman - https://bit.ly/2wz8LrW Postman 2022 - https://bit.ly/3JWm4qX Rest Assured - https://bit.ly/3zUdhRD Karate API Testing - https://bit.ly/3w3H5Ku General - https://bit.ly/2PYdwmV JMeter API Testing - https://bit.ly/3AgVPar Katalon Studio API Testing - https://bit.ly/2BwuCTN API Mocking - https://bit.ly/3bYPsjS ▬▬ MOBILE TESTING ▬▬ Appium - https://bit.ly/2ZHFSGX Mobile Playlist - https://bit.ly/2PxpeUv ▬▬ PERFORMANCE TESTING ▬▬ JMeter Beginner - https://bit.ly/2oBbtIU Gatling - https://bit.ly/3QrWfkV Performance Testing - https://bit.ly/2wEXbLS ▬▬ SOURCE CODE MANAGEMENT ▬▬ Git & GitHub - https://bit.ly/2Q1pagY GITLAB - http://bit.ly/2kQPGyQ ▬▬ IDE ▬▬ Eclipse - https://bit.ly/3AnRhQP IntelliJ IDEA - https://bit.ly/3AnyDZ8 Visual Studio Code - https://bit.ly/2V15yvt ▬▬ PROGRAMMING ▬▬ Java Beginners - https://bit.ly/2PVUcXs Java Tips & Tricks - https://bit.ly/2CdcDnJ Groovy - https://bit.ly/2FvWV5C JavaScript - http://bit.ly/2KJDZ8o TypeScript - https://bit.ly/3dvJBmz Python - http://bit.ly/2Z4iRye Ruby - https://bit.ly/3JRRmzf ▬▬ BUILD TOOLS ▬▬ Maven - https://bit.ly/2NJdDRS Gradle - http://bit.ly/30l3h1B ▬▬ DATA FORMATS ▬▬ JSON - https://bit.ly/3w450tq XML - https://bit.ly/3PqRneH ▬▬ OTHERS ▬▬ Virtualization on Windows - http://bit.ly/2SItIL9 Mock Interviews - https://bit.ly/3QGwwVJ Redis - https://bit.ly/2N9jyCG Misc - https://bit.ly/2Q2q5xQ Tools & Tips - https://bit.ly/2oBfwoR QnA Friday - https://bit.ly/2NgwGpw Sunday Special - https://bit.ly/2wB23BO —
