Over-view

In this blog, I am going to show how can we configure proxy server & backend servers using Ansible Role. We will study & use the concepts of ansible role, how to create them or how to integrate them as the task proceed further.

Pre-Requisites

Before going futher you should have some knowledge of following concepts:

• Ansible Role
• HAproxy
• Ansible Playbook

Now let’s proceed this task…..

• Firstly include the folder in the inventory file, where we will create the roles.

• In this folder create roles using the giving command:-

# ansible-galaxy role init <role-name>

Here we created two different roles, one for proxy & one for webserver.
We can search system roles using the given command:

# ansible-galaxy role list

• If we go inside the role folder’s we can see that their are different folder for variable, tasks, template, handlers etc.

• We will write all the tasks in the “main.yml” file inside the “tasks” folder & variables in “main.yml” file inside “vars” folder.

• Now create main playbook & include these roles

• So let’s run this playbook.

So as you can see we have run the playbook successfully next let see the output.

Let check the Target Nodes…

• Backend Node

• Proxy Server

Now in last let’s check it running properly or not…

So finally we have completed the task…

Fin.

We have completed the task.
