Q19. Modify file content.
————————
Create a playbook called /home/admin/ansible/modify.yml as follows:

Q20. Install and configure ansible
User sandy has been created on your control node with the appropriate permissions already, do not change or modify ssh keys. Install the necessary packages to run ansible on the control node. Configure ansible.cfg to be in folder /home/sandy/ansible/ansible.cfg and configure to access remote machines via the sandy user. All roles should be in the path /home/sandy/ansible/roles. The inventory path should be in /home/sandy/ansible/invenlory.
You will have access to 5 nodes.
node1.example.com
node2.example.com
node3.example.com
node4.example.com
node5.example.com
Configure these nodes to be in an inventory file where node I is a member of group dev. nodc2 is a member of group test, node3 is a member of group proxy, nodc4 and node 5 are members of group prod. Also, prod is a member of group webservers.

Q21. Generate a hosts file:
* Download an initial template file hosts.j2 from http://classroom.example.com/
hosts.j2 to
/home/admin/ansible/ Complete the template so that it can be used to generate a file with a line for each inventory host in the same format as /etc/hosts:
172.25.250.9 workstation.lab.example.com workstation
* Create a playbook called gen_hosts.yml that uses this template to generate the file /etc/myhosts on hosts in the dev host group.
* When completed, the file /etc/myhosts on hosts in the dev host group should have a line for each managed host:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
172.25.250.10 serevra.lab.example.com servera

Q25. Create a playbook called webdev.yml in ‘home/sandy/ansible. The playbook will create a directory Avcbdev on dev host. The permission of the directory are 2755 and owner is webdev. Create a symbolic link from /Webdev to /var/www/html/webdev. Serve a file from Avebdev7index.html which displays the text “Development” Curl http://node1.example.com/webdev/index.html to test

Q26. Create user accounts
————————
–> A list of users to be created can be found in the file called user_list.yml
which you should download from http://classroom.example.com/user_list.yml and
save to /home/admin/ansible/
–> Using the password vault created elsewhere in this exam, create a playbook called
create_user.yml
that creates user accounts as follows:
–> Users with a job description of developer should be:
–> created on managed nodes in the “dev” and “test” host groups assigned the
password from the “dev_pass”
variable and these user should be member of supplementary group “devops”.
–> Users with a job description of manager should be:
–> created on managed nodes in the “prod” host group assigned the password from
the “mgr_pass” variable
and these user should be member of supplementary group “opsmgr”
–> Passwords should use the “SHA512” hash format. Your playbook should work using
the vault password file
created elsewhere in this exam.
while practising you to create these file hear. But in exam have to download as per
questation.

* The playbook contains a play that runs on hosts in balancers host group and uses
the balancer role.
–> This role configures a service to loadbalance webserver requests between hosts
in the webservers host group.curl
–> When implemented, browsing to hosts in the balancers host group (for example
http://node5.example.com) should produce the following output:
Welcome to node3.example.com on 192.168.10.z
–> Reloading the browser should return output from the alternate web server:
Welcome to node4.example.com on 192.168.10.a
* The playbook contains a play that runs on hosts in webservers host group and uses
the phphello role.
–> When implemented, browsing to hosts in the webservers host group with the URL /
hello.php should produce the following output:
