Kubernetes Is An Orchestration Tool But Ansible Is A Configuration Tool

Kubernetes is an orchestration tool but Ansible is a configuration tool.
Create 3 Amazon Linux AMI - t2.micro – sg: All traffic
In controller & all client instances run
sudo -i
yum update -y
yum install python-pip -y
python –version
In controller run
sudo amazon-linux-extras install ansible2 [to add ansible repository]
yum install ansible
exit
Run the following on controller instance only

ssh-keygen [to generate key]
cd .ssh/
ls
id_rsa – private key, id_rsa.pub – public key(we need to copy this key)
cat id_rsa.pub (copy the key)
Now go to a client instance
exit [to exit from root user]

cd .ssh/
ls
vi authorized_keys [go to the end and paste the copied key. DON’T DELETE PREVIOUS KEY]
Now go to controller
cd ..
cd /etc/ansible/
ls
sudo vi hosts
Go to the end & type
[webserver]
<Private_ip-of-webserver>
[database]
<Private_ip-of-database>
ansible -m ping all
ping means you are requesting connection & pong means you got response.
Now we will install git & vsftpd (used for file transfer) in webserver from controller
ansible -m yum -a "name=git state=present" webserver --become
ansible -m yum -a "name=vsftpd state=present" webserver --become
Now go to webserver & check whether git & vsftpd was installed properly
git version
service vsftpd status
Go to controller & start the vsftpd service
ansible -m service -a "name=vsftpd state=restarted" webserver --become
yum – installation purpose

service – service related purpose
-a – action
--become – to work as root user
Now check whether ftp is working properly on webserver or not – go to browser & type
ftp://<public-ip of webserver>
Now install ftp in webserver
sudo yum install ftp -y

ftp
Ctrl+C
cd /var/ftp
ls (you can see pub)
cd pub
sudo vi test1
Now go to browser & check – you can see ‘test1’ file inside pub.

In controller instance
ansible -m yum -a "name=httpd state=present" webserver --become
Now check in webserver whether httpd is installed properly

cd /var/www/html/
If this command gets executed successfully then it’s installed. The folders gets created automatically
when httpd is installed.
service httpd status
In controller run
ansible -m service -a "name=httpd state=restarted" webserver --become
(to start httpd service)
Topic: Copying a file from controller to webserver

In controller inside /home/ec2-user
mkdir dir1
cd dir1/
vi index.html
<html>
<head>
<title>
A Simple HTML Document
</title>
</head>
<body>
This is a very simple HTML document
It only has two paragraphs
</body>
</html>
ansible -m copy -a "src=/home/ec2-user/dir1/index.html dest=/var/www/html/" webserver –

become
Now go to webserver
cd /var/www/html/
ls (you can see index.html which was copied from controller)
sudo -i
chmod 777 /var/www/html/index.html
Go to browser & type <public-ip-of-webserver>/index.html (you can see the html page which you
created)
In controller
sudo mkdir -m 777 /tmp1
cd /tmp1
vi index1.html
<html>
<head>
<title>
A Simple HTML Document
</title>
</head>
<body>
This is a very simple HTML document
It only has two paragraphs
</body>

ansible -m copy -a "src=/tmp1/index1.html dest=/var/www/html/ mode=777" webserver –become
Go to browser & type <public-ip-of-webserver>/index1.html (you can see the html page which you
created)
Topic: Uninstall httpd service

In controller run
ansible -m yum -a "name=httpd state=absent" webserver --become
Topic: Playbook
In controller run
cd /
sudo mkdir -m 777 dir1
cd dir1/
sudo vi file1.yml

- name: install vsftpd
hosts: webserver
become: true

tasks:
- name: install package vsftpd
yum: name=vsftpd state=present
- name: write the apache config file
service: name=vsftpd state=restarted
ansible-playbook file1.yml
In webserver run
cd /var/ftp/pub
(If this command gets executed successfully then it’s installed)
Now go to browser & type
ftp:// <public-ip-of-webserver>/pub
(installing tomcat is continued in next lecture)
ftp is a protocol & vsftpd is the corresponding service
httpd is the corresponding server of http

Q: If you can use shell then what is the need for playbook?
A: We can implement Infrastructure as a Code (IaaC) with the help of script files in playbook.
nohup - means that you don’t have to start the server again & again, even if the server stops then as
soon as the service starts the server will also start automatically

Configure Jenkins in an instance to create ‘myproject.war’ file
Connect to Jenkins instance & Controller instance using putty
Note : if you want to send a file on Jenkins(sender) instance to Controller(receiver) instance, then
the public key of Controller instance should be present in Jenkins instance.
On Jenkins instance
cd /var/lib/Jenkins/workspace/Deploy/target/
ls (you can see addressbook.war)
cd
mkdir copy1
sudo mv /var/lib/Jenkins/workspace/Deploy/target/addressbook.war copy1
cd copy1
Now go to Downloads folder in local drive of your PC and open the pem file in Notepad++ and copy
the entire content
sudo vi key1.pem (paste the copied content)

sudo chmod 777 key1.pem
scp -i "key1.pem" addressbook.war ec2-user@<private-ip-of-controller>:/home/ec2-
user/playbook/
In Controller instance
cd playbook
ls (you can see addressbook.war copied from Jenkins instance)
Now we have to create a playbook to host the war file
Connect to the agent instance (database) with putty
On Controller instance
sudo vi myplaybook3.yml
---
- name: install tomcat server
hosts: database
become: true
tasks:
- name: install java
yum:
name: java
state: latest
- name: download tomcat

shell: nohup /usr/local/apache-tomcat-8.5.58/bin/startup.sh
ansible-playbook myplaybook3.yml --syntax --check

ansible-playbook myplaybook3.yml
Now connect to agent instance (database) using putty
cd /usr/local/apache-tomcat-8.5.58/webapps/
Go to browser & enter
