This is a multi-machine Vagrant system that dynamically configures four systems from hosts
configuration file and other space-delimited files.
Provisioning scripts will make changes to /etc/hosts
and /etc/ssh/ssh_config
for easy access between systems. After entering one system, e.g. vagrant ssh client
, you can easily get to another system using just the host name, e.g. ssh master
.
vagrant up # start and provision all systems
vagrant provision # provision or re-provision all systems
vagrant ssh # ssh into master
vagrant ssh client # ssh into client
vagrant halt client # shutdown client
vagrant halt # shutdown all systems
vagrant reload # restart all systems
vagrant destroy # delete all systems
A sample Python script is available for testing an Ansible dynamic inventory file. With Ansible installed on a Linux or Mac OS X host, you can run:
vagrant up # bring systems up
export ANSIBLE_HOST_KEY_CHECKING=False
ansible all -i "config/inventory.py" -m ping
# run a single command
ansible all -i "config/inventory.py" -a 'lsb_release -a'
