Learn to use Ansible to Setup & Provision Vagrant Boxes | Devops

We're using Ansible and Vagrant to build, setup, and provision Virtualbox VMs.

Vagrant can be used to deploy a basic box from a Vagrantfile but you can also specify what type of provisioner (if any) you want to use to set up your Vagrant box. In this case, we used an Ansible Playbook to provision our Vagrant box.

Ansible is a configuration management tool similar to the popular tools Chef and Puppet, though Ansible doesn't require a server so it's more like Puppet Masterless or Chef Solo. Ansible is also very similar to SaltStack.

Ansible and other configuration management tools are invaluable to DevOps engineers. Configuration management tools such as Ansible form the backbone of continuous integration pipelines and are often called Infrastructure As Code.

CM tools are often used for various systems administration tasks, especially around networking and server deployments. ~~ Support the channel! Becoming a Patron or Ko-fi supporter gives you access to the Egee video archive & good vibes for supporting my videos!
