Ansible 2 Cloud Automation Cookbook

How to do it...

1. Use Ansible dynamic inventory with the following ad hoc command:

#Target all hosts in azure group 
$ ansible -i azure_rm.py azure -m ping 
 
#Target all hosts in example resource group 
$ ansible -i azure_rm.py example -m ping 

2. Use ansible-playbook with dynamic inventory:

$ ansible-playbook -i azure_rm.py playbook.yml 
 
# Content of playbook.yml 
$ cat playbook.yml 
--- 
- host: tag_env_preprod 
  tasks: 
     - name: Test Dynamic Inventory 
       shell:  /bin/uname -a 

3. Use Azure tags to target hosts in Ansible:

$ ansible tag_env_preprod -m ping
