It allows you to controll your environment (infrastructure and a code) and automate the manual tasks. +Ansible have great integration with multiple operating systems (even Windows using Power Shell) and some hardware (switches, Firewalls, etc). It has multiple tools that integrate with the could providers. Almost every worth-notice cloud provider is present in the ecosystem (AWS, Azure, Google, DigitalOcean, OVH, etc...) + +## Main cons and pros + +### Cons + +It is an agent-less tool - every agent consumes up to 16MB ram - in some environments, it may be noticable amount. +It is agent-less - you have to verify your environment consistency 'on-demand' - there is no built-in mechanism taht would warn you about some change automatically (this can be achieved with reasonable effort - but it must be known) + +### Pros + +It is an agent-less tools :) In most scenarios, it use ssh as a transport layer. +It is very-very-very easy to start. If you are familiar with ssh concept - you already know ansible :) (almost). My personal record is: 'I did show how to install and use ansible (for simple raspberry pi cluster management) and it tool me 30 seconds to deliver a working tool !!!)' +I do provide a training services - I'm able to teach a production-ready person - in 8 hours (1 training day)! It covers all needed to work aspects! No other tool can match this ease of use! +It executes when you do it - other tools (salt, puppet, chef - might execute in different scenario than you would expect) +Documentation is at the world-class standard! +The comunity (github, stackOverflow) would help you very fast. +Writing own modules and extension is fairly easy. + + +### Neutral +Migration Ansible<->Salt is failrly easy - so if you would need an event-driven agent environment - it would be a good choice to start quick with Ansible, and convert to salt when needed. + + +## Ansible naming and basic concept + +### Naming + +### ansible (run module (task)) + +### ansible-playbook (run set of tasks) + +### ansible-roles (a 'template-playbooks in right structure') + +### ansible - variables +lookup's + +### ansible-vault + +### inventory + +### dynamic inventory + +### Jinja2 and templates +jinja filters + +### ansible profiling - callback + +### facts-cache and ansible-cmdb + +### debugging ansible + +### Infrastructure as a code - what about Ansible +virtualenv + +### ansible - dynamic in AWS + +### create instance in AWS + +### create env in AWS + +## Bonus + +### writing own module + +### Python API + +### Web-UI: Ansible Tower, Jenkins, Rundeck + + +### Tips and tricks +AND,XOR +--check --diff +tags +meta +no_logs + +--- +Github template placeholder - to be removed + +### Centralized Versioning VS Distributed Versioning + +* Centralized version control focuses on synchronizing, tracking, and backing +up files. +* Distributed version control focuses on sharing changes.

Imagine it +as a source code data structure, with the attribute that each source code +"element" gives you access to its revision history, among other things. + +A git repository is comprised of the .git directory & working tree. + +### .git Directory (component of repository) + +The .git directory contains all the configurations, logs, branches, HEAD, and +more. +[Detailed List.](http://gitready.com/advanced/2009/03/23/whats-inside-your-git-directory.html) + +### Working Tree (component of repository) + +This is basically the directories and files in your repository. It is often +referred to as your working directory. + +### Index (component of .git dir) + +The Index is the staging area in git. It's basically a layer that separates +your working tree from the Git repository. This gives developers more power +over what gets sent to the Git repository. + +### Commit + +A git commit is a snapshot of a set of changes, or manipulations to your +Working Tree. For example, if you added 5 files, and removed 2 others, these +changes will be contained in a commit (or snapshot). This commit can then be +pushed to other repositories, or not! + +### Branch + +A branch is essentially a pointer to the last commit you made. As you go on +committing, this pointer will automatically update to point the latest commit. + +### Tag + +A tag is a mark on specific point in history. Typically people use this +functionality to mark release points (v1.0, and so on) + +### HEAD and head (component of .git dir) + +HEAD is a pointer that points to the current branch. A repository only has 1 +*active* HEAD. +head is a pointer that points to any commit. A repository can have any number +of heads. + +### Stages of Git +* Modified - Changes have been made to a file but file has not been committed +to Git Database yet +* Staged - Marks a modified file to go into your next commit snapshot +* Committed - Files have been committed to the Git Database + +### Conceptual Resources + +* [Git For Computer Scientists](http://eagain.net/articles/git-for-computer-scientists/) +* [Git For Designers](http://hoth.entp.com/output/git_for_designers.html) + +## Commands + +### init + +Create an empty Git repository. The Git repository's settings, stored +information, and more is stored in a directory (a folder) named ".git". + +```bash +$ git init +``` + +### config + +To configure settings. Whether it be for the repository, the system itself, +or global configurations ( global config file is `~/.gitconfig` ). + +```bash +# Print & Set Some Basic Config Variables (Global) +$ git config --global user.email "MyEmail@Zoho.com" +$ git config --global user.name "My Name" +``` + +[Learn More About git config.](http://git-scm.com/docs/git-config) + +### help + +To give you quick access to an extremely detailed guide of each command.
