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

Tags

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

Example of re-deploying the kubernetes playbook segment:


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

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