User Story: Lab Overview
As a: Ansible Developer
I want: a development environment that follows DevOps principles
So that: develop, test and deploy ansible roles and playbooks, apply best practices and setup CI/CD tooling.
Environment Diagram
The development environment consists of a workstation running Linux - to edit ansible roles and playbooks, a controller (running ansible), supporting systems (Jekins, AWX and Gitlab) - and a variety of managed nodes for testing across multiple operating systems.
Development
- workstation.lab.local - Development Workstation running Fedora 31. Development IDEs (VS Code, VIM). Feel free to use your own - see Linux setup for guidance.
Infrastructure
- controller.lab.local - Ansible engine controller. Runs ansible.
- gitlab.lab.local - gitlab environment.
- jenkins.lab.local - ansible CI/CD system.
- awx.lab.local - ansible AWX.
Managed Hosts
- centos7.lab.local - ansible managed host.
- centos8.lab.local - ansible managed host.
- rhel7.lab.local - ansible managed host.
- rhel81.lab.local - ansible manged host.
- debian10.lab.local - ansible manged host.
- ubuntu1804.lab.local - ansible managed host.
