Create an inventory file for the following five nodes: nodel.example.com node2.example.com node3.example.com node4.example.com node5.example.com Configure these nodes to be in an inventory file where node1 is a member of group dev. nodc2 is a member of group test, nodc3 is a member of group proxy, nodc4 and node 5 are members of group prod. Also, prod is a member of group webservers. Solution In/home/sandy/ansible/ansible.cfg [defaults] inventory=/home/sandy/ansible/inventory roles_path=/home/sandy/ansible/roles remote_user= sandy host_key_checking=false [privilegeescalation] become=true become_user=root become_method=sudo become_ask_pass=false In /home/sandy/ansible/inventory [dev] node 1 . example.com [test] node2.example.com [proxy] node3 . example.com [prod] node4.example.com node5 . example.com [webservers:children] prod

Create a file called adhoc.sh in /home/sandy/ansible which will use adhoc commands to set up a new repository. The name of the repo will be 'EPEL' the description 'RHEL8' the baseurl is 'https://dl.fedoraproject.org /pub/epel/epel - release - latest - 8.noarch.rmp' there is no gpgcheck, but you should enable the repo. * You should be able to use an bash script using adhoc commands to enable repos. Depending on your lab setup, you may need to make this repo "state=absent" after you pass this task. Solution chmod 0777 adhoc.sh vim adhoc.sh #I/bin/bash ansible all - m yum_repository - a 'name=EPEL description=RHEL8 baseurl= https://dl.fedoraproject.org / pub/epel/epel - release - latest - 8.noarch.rmp gpgcheck=no enabled=yes'
