Hello All,
I am a complete newbie and have only spent hours reading about ansible and topics this forum. I have been (un;)fortunate to work with ansible devs, so haven’t had to get my hands dirty. Anyway here I am and ready to get my hands dirty. There is a specific nut I am trying to crack in ansible. We want to dev a job template that add disks to and server instance. The size and number of disk will be provided as an extra_var csv string, eg. 10,100,25,200 would add 4 disks of sizes 10GB, 100GB, 25GB & 200GB. We have the task ready and it works, so adding one disk is not a problem, but how do we then repeat that task for the next disk? Its not a question of nuts and bolts of adding disks, its a question how do we take the csv string (not file) and then loop the task.
Looks like this is possible in Ansible, as per the below articles.
