Ansible Automation Platform for Ansible on Cloud collection - redhat.ansible_on_clouds

Miscellaneous playbooks for configuration and maintenance of Ansible Automation Platform deployments. The following cloud providers:

• Amazon Web Services (AWS)
• Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

Prerequisites

Every cloud provider requires certain prerequisites in order to gain access and be able to retrieve and manipulate data. The following are the prerequisites for each cloud provider.

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

• TODO

Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

• gcloud command line interface must already be installed
• gcloud must already be authenticated ('logged in')
• Service account credentials JSON file downloaded and available for use

To run playbooks from the cloned repo

During development you will want to test the playbooks in the collection easisly. In order for the ansible-playbooks command to be able to find your collection of playbooks, use the following commands, from the base directory of the repo, to create a symbolic link from the ansible default collection path to your repo.

mkdir -p  ~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/redhat
ln -s $PWD ~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/redhat/ansible_on_clouds

Now you can run a playbook

ansible-playbook redhat.ansible_on_clouds.gcp_list_deployments -e gcp_service_account_credentials_json_path=/tmp/my_gcp_service_account_credentials.json

If you no longer need this symbolic link, simply run:

rm  ~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/redhat/ansible_on_clouds

Playbooks

logging and monitoring

cd playbooks
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/path/to/credential
export ANSIBLE_CONFIG=gcp-ansible.cfg

# Generate the inventory. Replace <deployment_name> with your deployment name
# A inventory will be generated in
ansible-playbook gcp_deployment_inventory.yaml --extra-vars="deployment=<deployment_name>"

# You can verify the generated inventory by running
ansible-inventory -i <deployment-name>.gcp.yaml --graph

# Configure the vars/logging_monitoring_config.yaml

# Launch the playbook. Replace <deployment_name> with your deployment name
ansible-playbook setup_logging_metrics.yaml --extra-vars=@vars/logging_monitoring_config.yaml -i inventory/<deployment_name>.gcp.yaml
