Hi
As I am working through the “Your first commands” section, it strikes me that a sample VM, based on VirtualBox and built by Vagrant, say, could make it easier to create a sample environment to practice that section, and later sections also.
Has anyone created such a VM for practicing with Ansible?
Many thanks
Nathan
Hello Nathan,
I think you’d be interested on the ansible series of sysadmin cast:
https://sysadmincasts.com/episodes/43-19-minutes-with-ansible-part-1-4
https://sysadmincasts.com/episodes/45-learning-ansible-with-vagrant-part-2-4
https://sysadmincasts.com/episodes/46-configuration-management-with-ansible-part-3-4
https://sysadmincasts.com/episodes/47-zero-downtime-deployments-with-ansible-part-4-4
On the first episode you’ll find the steps on how to create a testing environment for ansible playbook. I used this to learn the basics and it helped me am lot.
Hope it helps,
Alfredo
Gracias Alfredo, and apologies for the delayed response.
The second episode(https://sysadmincasts.com/episodes/45-learning-ansible-with-vagrant-part-2-4) has the discussion I was after.
I wonder why the Ansible team don’t pre-package something similar in these instructions?
