Provisioning

The playbook allows the end-user to perform an initial cluster deployment, or a cluster re-deployment, after a performed cluster reset.

Important

Refer to the Ansible tutorial, for usage of encrypted variables and files.

Execution

Example of playbook execution, using the Ansible Vault global password:

ansible-playbook --ask-vault-pass provisioning.yaml

Ansible Vault global password prompt:

Vault password: my-Gl0bal-Passw0rd

The end-user can use Ansible tags, in order to re-deploy specific segments of playbook.

Example of re-deploying the kubernetes playbook segment:

ansible-playbook --ask-vault-pass --tags=kubernets,charts provisioning.yaml

Since the cluster role OS updates are fully automated, using the above tags allows end-user to save time re-deploying the cluster, after a reset.
