Ansible role

Step 1. Provide ansible role in as a zip file

  • In your local machine, create a folder tasks with one file main.yml.

- debug:
    msg:
      - "Hello! I am an {{ MY_NAME }}"
      - "I am running on {{ HOST }}"

  • Zip the tasks folder as configure.zip and upload.

Step 2. Upload

  • Upload the configure.zip as the artifact configure of the AnsibleRole.

Step 3. Provide ansible variables

In addition to the env property, users can define ansible variables by providing the artifact ansible_variables:

  • Define ansible variables in a yml file (e.g., myvar.yml)

MY_NAME: example

  • Upload myvar.yml in the artifact ansible_variables.

Expected result

During the deployment, the orchestrator extracts the zip file on the ansible controller, and applies the role on the target compute.

Hello! I am an example
I am running on Compute
