Ansible for VMware by Examples
A Step-by-Step Guide to Automating Your VMware Infrastructure
Learn to use the Ansible open source IT automation tool to automate your VMware infrastructure. This book contains all of the obvious and not-so-obvious best practices of Ansible automation. Each lesson summarizes a specific use case for the modern VMware infrastructure and is focused on a single module from the most important parameter, including live demo of code and real-life usage.
You’ll configure the Ansible Controller to interact with VMware infrastructure using the “community.VMware” Ansible documentation collection and the appropriate Python libraries. Next, learn how to automate the creation of a virtual machine manually and from a template, start and stop using the shutdown and forced-power off a Virtual Machine, take and delete and snapshot, add a new hard disk and expand a currently attached hard disk, as well as gather information for data centers, clusters, host systems, and virtual machines.
By the end of this book, you’ll be well-versed in efficiently maintaining a VMware infrastructure with Ansible Automation. You’ll also be able to save time and reduce manual errors using simple human-readable automation technology.
What You’ll Learn
Automate your VMware infrastructure using Ansible code
Install Ansible in operating systems such as RedHat, Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.
Write and execute your first Ansible Playbook code
Learn how to automate your Kubernetes infrastructure using Ansible. This book will enable you to automate more tasks and save time with this human-readable platform.
Containerized microservices deployed via Kubernetes allows you to save time, reduce human interaction and errors, and create applications that are more robust. You’ll learn how to automate the most redundant activities such as reports, services, the launch of a pod, adding permanent storage, configuring load balancing, and adding or modifying any Kubernetes parameter. You’ll also gain an understanding of end-to-end use cases and how advanced cluster automation, such as Helm packages and node states, are evolving.
Each lesson utilizes a specific use-case for the modern Kubernetes cluster and focuses on a single module from the most crucial parameter, complete with code demonstrations. Each code example is battle-proven in real-life with console interaction and verification.
What You’ll Learn
Automate Kubernetes cluster management, cloud services, pods, and storage with Ansible
