====== Playbooks ======
A playbook is a yaml file which list a set of action to run, and in which order. You can create your own tasks in a playbook, but most of the time, you'll just assign roles to hosts, or group of host in a playbook.
You can create your playbooks where you want, for example, in a playbook subdirectory
mkdir playbooks
vim playbooks/fws.yml
Here's a real world example
- name: Deploy outbound proxy server
hosts: proxyout.fws.fr
roles:
- repo_base
- squid
- name: Deploy AD DC
hosts: fws_dc
roles:
- system_proxy
- repo_base
- samba
- letsencrypt
- name: Deploy common profiles
hosts: fws
roles:
- common
- backup
- filebeat
- name: Deploy Proxmox hosts
hosts: fws_pve
roles:
- pve
- name: Deploy databases servers
hosts: db.fws.fr
roles:
- mysql_server
- postgresql_server
In this example, if the playbook is ran, it'll do the following :
* On the host **proxyout.fws.fr**, it will deploy the roles **repo_base** and **squid**
* On the hosts members of group **fws_dc**, it'll deploy the roles **system_proxy**, **repo_base**, **samba** and **letsencrypt**
* On all the hosts members of the group **fws**, it'll deploy the roles **common**, **backup** and **filebeat**
* etc.
So, you have to define your playbook with what you want to do
