Day 84: Copy Data to App Servers using Ansible

📦 Day 84: Copy Data to App Servers using Ansible | 100 Days of DevOps

Welcome to Day 84 of the 100 Days of DevOps series! In this lab, you'll use Ansible to distribute files from the control node to multiple application servers, demonstrating one of the most common automation tasks in infrastructure management.

📌 Lab Objective:

Create an Ansible inventory and playbook to copy a file from the jump host to all application servers in the Stratos Datacenter.

🛠️ Task Requirements:

Inventory Configuration
Create inventory file:
/home/thor/ansible/inventory
Add all application servers as managed nodes:
stapp01
stapp02
stapp03
Playbook Configuration
Create playbook:
/home/thor/ansible/playbook.yml
Source file:
/usr/src/devops/index.html
Destination directory:
/opt/devops
Copy the file to all application servers

💻 What You'll Configure & Verify:

🔹 Create an Ansible inventory for multiple hosts
🔹 Define managed nodes in the inventory file
🔹 Create a file distribution playbook
🔹 Use Ansible copy module
🔹 Transfer files from control node to remote hosts
🔹 Automate configuration deployment
🔹 Validate successful file transfers
🔹 Verify consistency across all servers

📚 What You'll Learn:

Ansible inventory management
Multi-host automation
File deployment using Ansible
Ansible copy module
Infrastructure configuration management
Agentless automation concepts
Remote system administration
DevOps automation workflows

🌟 Why This Lab Matters:

Distributing files and configurations across multiple servers is a routine DevOps task. Ansible simplifies this process by allowing teams to manage infrastructure consistently and efficiently from a central control node.
