Ansible tasks

Step 1. Drop​

  • Drop the AnsibleTasks component on a compute.

Step 2. Write an Ansible task​

  1. Click on the AnsibleTasks component to open the code editor.
  2. Copy and paste the following script in the code editor and Save File.
- debug:
    msg:
      - "{{ NODE }} is running on {{ HOST }} on port {{ PORT }}"
      - "{{ NODE }} has environment variable FOO with value: {{ FOO }}"

Step 3. Set Ansible variables​

  • All component properties are available as Ansible variables (e.g., set the port property to 8080).
  • Use the property env to define any ansible variables (e.g., set the env property with key FOO value bar).
  • Set ansible_become to true to run the ansible tasks with root privileges. Defaults to false.
  • Set ignore_errors to true for the orchestrator to ignore any errors during the execution of this ansible tasks and continues. Defaults to false.

Expected result​

During the deployment, the orchestrator executes the ansible tasks on the target Compute and prints out:

AnsibleTasks is running on Compute on port 8080
AnsibleTasks has environment variable FOO with value: bar
