Instructor Guide

This section seeks to help an instructor setup an Ansible Automation Platform environment to provide the workshop participants to use.

Prerequisites

  • Install an Ansible Automation Platform instance on an external VM (Red Hat employees can use RHPDS).

Preperations for exercise 1 (Integration with Applications Lifecycle) -

  1. Log into the Ansible Automation Platform web interface and create an Ansible Automation Platform application at Administration -> Applications.
  2. Create token for admin user for application at Users-> admin -> Tokens -> Add. Select the created application and the Write scope. Copy the token to a local machine.
  3. In order to host the participants log files, on the Ansible Automation Platform server, install an httpd server by running the next command - yum install -y httpd.
  4. To allow the httpd server to serve on port 80, on the Ansible Automation Platform server, remove all port 80 listeners at - /etc/nginx/nginx.conf.
  5. Restart the Nginx server to apply the configurations, run the next command - systemctl restart nginx.
  6. Create a log directory for the participants by running the next command - mkdir /var/www/html/logs.
  7. Create an inventory with a reference to the local Ansible Automation Platform server in it.
  8. Create a Machine Credential for the root user of the Automation Platform server.
  9. In the Ansible Automation Platform web interface, create a project, and point it to the workshop's git repository (https://github.com/michaelkotelnikov/rhacm-workshop.git).
  10. Create Ansible Automation Platform job template, name it Logger, make sure to allow prompt vars and promt inventories by ticking the boxes next to the instances. Associate the job template with the 07.Ansible-Tower-Integration/ansible-playbooks/logger-playbook.yml playbook. Associate the job template with the created inventory and credentials.
  11. Provide the participants with the token you created in step 2 alongside the web URL for the Ansible Automation Platform web server. Also, provide participants with a user / password to login into the web portal in order to troubleshoot the exercise.

Preperations for exercise 2 (Integration with Governance Policies) -

  1. Create a job template named K8S-Namespace, associate it with the project, secret and inventory created in the previous exercise. Make sure to associate the job template with the 07.Ansible-Tower-Integration/ansible-playbooks/namespace-playbook.yml playbook.
  2. Provide the participants with the token you created in step 2 in the previous exercise alongside the web URL for the Ansible Automation Platform web server. Also, provide participants with a user / password to login into the web portal in order to troubleshoot the exercise.
