Administrar la implementación mediante Ansible

Ansible ayuda a automatizar el proceso de implementación de aplicaciones, configuraciones y actualizaciones en toda la implementación. En este artículo se ofrecen instrucciones paso a paso sobre el uso de Ansible para administrar la implementación con eficiencia.

Paso 1: Determinar qué implementar

Antes de empezar, identifique lo que necesita implementar, como aplicaciones, servicios, configuraciones y variables de entorno.

Paso 2: Configurar el proyecto de Ansible

Cree una estructura de directorios para su proyecto de Ansible. Una forma crucial de organizar el contenido de sus playbooks es con la función “roles” de Ansible. Para obtener más información, consulte Roles en la documentación de Ansible.

A continuación, se muestran dos ejemplos de estructuras de directorios para referencia:

Ejemplo de estructura de directorios 1

  production                # inventory file for production servers
  staging                   # inventory file for staging environment

  group_vars/
     group1.yml             # here we assign variables to particular groups
     group2.yml
  host_vars/
     hostname1.yml          # here we assign variables to particular systems
     hostname2.yml

  library/                  # if any custom modules, put them here (optional)
  module_utils/             # if any custom module_utils to support modules, put them here (optional)
  filter_plugins/           # if any custom filter plugins, put them here (optional)

  site.yml                  # master playbook
  webservers.yml            # playbook for webserver tier
  dbservers.yml             # playbook for dbserver tier

  roles/
      common/               # this hierarchy represents a "role"
          tasks/            #
              main.yml      #  <-- tasks file can include smaller files if warranted
          handlers/         #
              main.yml      #  <-- handlers file
          templates/        #  <-- files for use with the template resource
              ntp.conf.j2   #  <------- templates end in .j2
          files/            #
              bar.txt       #  <-- files for use with the copy resource
              foo.sh        #  <-- script files for use with the script resource
          vars/             #
              main.yml      #  <-- variables associated with this role
          defaults/         #
              main.yml      #  <-- default lower priority variables for this role
          meta/             #
              main.yml      #  <-- role dependencies
          library/          # roles can also include custom modules
          module_utils/     # roles can also include custom module_utils
          lookup_plugins/   # or other types of plugins, like lookup in this case

      webtier/              # same kind of structure as "common" was above, done for the webtier role
      monitoring/           # ""
      fooapp/               # ""

  inventories/
     production/
        hosts               # inventory file for production servers
        group_vars/
           group1.yml       # here we assign variables to particular groups
           group2.yml
        host_vars/
           hostname1.yml    # here we assign variables to particular systems
           hostname2.yml

  dbservers.yml

  roles/
      common/
      webtier/
      monitoring/
      fooapp/

Paso 3: Configurar su inventario

Defina su archivo de inventario (inventory.ini). Por lo general, un archivo de inventario enumera los hosts que quiere administrar con Ansible, junto con los detalles necesarios, como los nombres de los hosts, las direcciones IP y la pertenencia a grupos. Por ejemplo:

  # Hostname and ip address
  [UBUNTU2004]
  <ip address>
  [UBUNTU2204]
  <ip address>
  [RHEL8]
  <ip address>
  [RHEL9]
  <ip address>
  [DEBIAN11]
  <ip address>
  [DEBIAN12]
  <ip address>
  [SUSE15]
  <ip address>

  [all:children]
  UBUNTU2004
  UBUNTU2204
  RHEL8
  RHEL9
  DEBIAN11
  DEBIAN12
  SUSE15

  [all:vars]
  ansible_user=<ansible execute user e.g root>
  ansible_password=<>
  ansible_ssh_common_args='-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no'

Paso 4: Crear playbooks de Ansible

Cree playbooks (archivos.yml) para automatizar las tareas de implementación. La sección proporciona ejemplos de playbooks para automatizar diferentes tareas de implementación.

Ejemplo de playbook para aplicar parches a distribuciones de Linux

Para aplicar parches a varias distribuciones de Linux con Ansible, puede crear un playbook YAML denominado “patch-for-different-distribution.yml” y rellenar el archivo con tareas similares a las siguientes. La directiva hosts define los hosts de destino del inventario (inventory.ini en este contexto) a los que se dirige la ejecución de las tareas del playbook.

  -  name: Upgrade and Reboot RHEL & Debian family Linux distros
    hosts: <host1,host2,host3>  # replace with your actual hosts in the inventory file.
    vars:
      reboot_connect_timeout: 5
      reboot_post_reboot_delay: 15
      reboot_timeout: 600
    tasks:
      # Upgrade RHEL family OS packages
      -  name: Upgrade RHEL Family OS packages
        ansible.builtin.yum:
          name: '*'
          state: latest
        when:
          -  ansible_facts['distribution'] == "RedHat"
          -  ansible_facts['distribution_major_version'] == "7"

      # Upgrade RHEL family OS packages
      -  name: Upgrade RHEL Family OS packages
        ansible.builtin.yum:
          name: '*'
          state: latest
        when:
          -  ansible_facts['distribution'] == "RedHat"
          -  ansible_facts['distribution_major_version'] == "8"

      # Upgrade RHEL family OS packages
      -  name: Upgrade RHEL Family OS packages
        ansible.builtin.yum:
          name: '*'
          state: latest
        when:
          -  ansible_facts['distribution'] == "RedHat"
          -  ansible_facts['distribution_major_version'] == "9"

      # Ubuntu Family upgrade
      -  name: Update repositories cache
        apt:
          update_cache: yes
        when:
          -  ansible_facts['distribution'] == "Ubuntu"
          -  ansible_facts['distribution_major_version'] == "20"

      -  name: Update all packages to their latest version
        apt:
          name: "*"
          state: latest
        when:
          -  ansible_facts['distribution'] == "Ubuntu"
          -  ansible_facts['distribution_major_version'] == "22"

      # Debian Family upgrade
      -  name: Upgrade the OS (apt-get dist-upgrade)
        apt:
          upgrade: dist
        when:
          -  ansible_facts['distribution'] == "Debian"
          -  ansible_facts['distribution_major_version'] == "11"

      -  name: Upgrade the OS (apt-get dist-upgrade)
        apt:
          upgrade: dist
        when:
          -  ansible_facts['distribution'] == "Debian"
          -  ansible_facts['distribution_major_version'] == "12"

      # Reboot after upgrade
      -  name: Reboot host
        reboot:
          connect_timeout: ""
          post_reboot_delay: ""
          reboot_timeout: ""

Ejemplos de playbooks para actualizar Linux VDA

Para automatizar las actualizaciones de versión de Linux VDA mediante Ansible, puede crear dos playbooks independientes. Un playbook, como get_the_build.yml, está dedicado a descargar y transferir el paquete de Linux VDA a las máquinas de destino (hosts). El otro playbook, por ejemplo linux_upgrade.yml, contiene tareas diseñadas para actualizar la versión del Linux VDA en las máquinas de destino mediante el paquete descargado anteriormente.

Ejemplo de playbook get_the_build.yml

  -  hosts: localhost
    name: Get the latest release build to local
    vars:
      build_url: <linux vda download link>  # replace with your actual value.
      local_tmp: "/tmp/"  # replace with your actual value.
      remote_tmp: "/tmp/"  # replace with your actual value.
      linuxvda_file_name : "linux vda rpm/deb file name" # replace with your actual value.
    tasks:
    -  name: Download the file
      get_url:
        url: ""
        dest: ""
      tags:
        -  get


  -  hosts: <host1,host2,host3>  # replace with your actual hosts in the inventory file.
    name: Copy a file to remote location
    tasks:
    -  name: Copy vda to the remote machine
      ansible.builtin.copy:
        src: ""
        dest: ""
        remote_src: no
      tags:
        -  copy
