Ansible Architecture

  Ansible uses playbooks to implement the desired configuration changes. The user directly interacts with the ansible automation engine and playbooks.


Ansible Architecture - Playbooks

• Ansible uses playbooks to implement the changes desired by the users

• Playbooks contain plays, plays have tasks and tasks call modules

• Modules are the units which actually execute on the servers

Ansible Architecture – Automation Engine

• Ansible uses playbooks to implement the changes desired by the users

• Playbooks contain plays, plays have tasks and tasks call modules

• Modules are the units which actually execute on the servers

• The API’s in ansible are there to support services like cloud and CLI

• Eg. Python API is used for Command Line Interface

• Plugins provide extra functionality to ansible

• Eg. Action plugin lets you perform tasks on your ansible machine before you execute a playbook

Ansible Architecture – CMDB

• The configuration management keeps a record of all the configuration changes made in the system

• This database could be kept on the cloud platform or on the physical server as well

Ansible Architecture – Cloud

• Ansible has a huge support for numerous cloud applications

• These cloud applications can seamlessly be integrated with ansible

• Ansible makes provisioning cloud infrastructures easy

Ansible Architecture – Hosts & Networks

• The hosts are connected to the ansible system via secure SSH connection (though other encryption technologies can also be used).

• Different networks can be managed together giving each network separate access rights.

  Terraform is an infrastructure as code tool that lets you build, change, and version cloud and on-prem resources safely and efficiently. HashiCorp Terraform is an infrastructure as code tool that lets you define both cloud and on-prem resources in human-readable configuration files that you can version, reuse, and share. You can then use a consistent workflow to provision and manage all of your infrastructure throughout its lifecycle. Terraform can manage low-level components like compute, storage, and networking resources, as well as high-level components like DNS entries and SaaS features. How does Terraform work? Terraform creates and manages resources on cloud platforms and other services through their application programming interfaces (APIs). Providers enable Terraform to work with virtually any platform or service with an accessible API. HashiCorp and the Terraform community have already written  thousands of providers  to manage many different types of resources...

  Introduction to Agile Reporting I’m not going to elaborate on the Agile Framework itself here.  1. Sprint Burndown At a Sprint-level, the burndown presents the  easiest way to track and report status  (the proverbial  Red / Amber / Green ), i.e., whether your Sprint is on or off-track, and what are the chances of meeting the Sprint goals. The burndown chart – when used right – can provide  near-real time updates  on Sprint progress. “If your team do it right, then they would take in just the right amount of work into a sprint.” At the beginning of a Sprint, the Scrum team perform Sprint Planning and agree to take on development work worth a certain number of Story points. This forms the basis for the Sprint Burndown chart. The total story points agreed at the beginning of the sprint make up the y-axis, and the individual dates in the Sprint make up x-axis. If your team do it right, then they would take in just the right amount of work into ...
