Hi yogesh, how to execute remote commands using ansible-playbook command suppose I have a inventory file and wanted to execute date and cat /etc/redhat-release commands and get the output in a shell

[@YogeshMehta]

Hi Srinath, I will say use adhoc command for that task. # ansible -i host.ini all -m shell -a “cat /etc/redhat-release”

[@keshavpratapsingh6312]

love you sir for your work..amazing stuff

[@3strings257]

What if I am not connected to the internet and I want to patch or upgrade the kernel offline

[@YogeshMehta]

You may use your local repository servers in that case.

[@lijinpp6717]

Thank you Yogesh, could you please comment, if we need to monitor the patching progress, which module needs to be added? no update on the yum.log on the management host ile when we apply the patches

[@YogeshMehta]

That’s really good question. The playbook I shared is very basic and doesn’t capture real production scenarios. You may refer to system logs for the progress

[@AntiPakistani]

Hi Yogesh, You're only checking running instance of apache/httpd, how about database process? Awaiting for your reply. Thanks in advance - Suresh

[@YogeshMehta]

Suresh Bichhali suggest to watchvideo completely. Httpd is just and example, you can put any process in grep

[@immastimaker]

Hi Yogesh, Thanks for the wonderful video about patching through Ansible. But how do I roll back the patching in the playbook. Can you please guide on this.

[@YogeshMehta]

Hi Prasad, easiest and quickest way to rollback will be reverting back to pre patching snapshots.

[@SukhwinderSingh-dm3bm]

Hi , Do you also help with windows patch installation through automation or can you redirect me to the correct place. Thanks

[@vjj6258]

It was really helpful, how can we setup SSH connection between 100s of server, is there any automated way or manually we have to do?

[@mastpraskum]

Kindly suggest a open-source patching management tool for RHEL. I ve subscriptions for RHEL but don't want to expend money on satellite/smart management tool from RHEL.

[@YogeshMehta]

You may explore spacewalk . spacewalkproject.github.io

[@narasimhakoundinyavasapura1313]

Hi Yogesh...thanks for the explanation. This is really very nice I'm very new to this ansible playbook. After watching this video I have grabbed a lot of things on this playbook. Using multiple conditional statements. This helped to analyze more how to write a playbook. If you don't mind could please share me link of that play book where I can download it. The Facebook link is not working which is there in the description. Though this is a time taking, could you share that one for me. Thanks and Regards

[@trueview6559]

Can any share the script

[@strikermdd]

Link for Playbook not working for me at least.

[@rajuteja7837]

Please add that ansible code into git repo and share that

[@amitsarudkar7198]

Superb Video. Yogesh, please can you share this playbook.

[@YogeshMehta]

Thanks Amit, unfortunately I don’t have Git repo. I would write it at my own to get understanding on the YAML formatting and get more familiarity with ansible.

[@madhukarreddy6879]

Awesome man.

[@tusharkapoor2963]

Hi Yogesh, Its a nice video. But one questions here we need to stop and start the apps on the servers manually, can't we stop and start the apps through this same play book or can write diff one for that. Please tell.

[@237311]

Useful video. Can this be used for patching MacOS?

[@Kiki_Terrene]

All the videos are really helpful !! How we can make 1000 of server as ssh less before running playbook to those 1000 of server,Manually it will be difficult to generate and copy key on 1000 server

[@channangealve2304]

Very good video. Please let me know how to build like your test environment. Also, can you use this in Windows patching?

[@reethanarkaniselvaraj21]

WOW.. Nice REally Good Video

[@nonyagbo]

[@YogeshMehta]

Thanks, unfortunately I don’t have Git repo. I would write it at my own to get understanding on the YAML formatting and get more familiarity with ansible.

[@bsanders]

Great video. Some package updates will require some (or many) processes to be restarted, but your reboot check is only for kernel updates. We reboot when either 1) the latest installed kernel does not equal the running kernel, OR 2) when "needs-restarting" returns > 0 status. This check will return a zero if the system does not need a reboot: [[ `rpm -q --last kernel | perl -pe 's/^kernel-(\\S+).*/$1/' | head -1` = `uname -r` ]] && /usr/bin/needs-restarting

[@YogeshMehta]

thanks Bret, I agree with you..

[@SK_Maurya222]

Hi Yogesh, What is the meaning of "Serial:2" ?

[@YogeshMehta]

Hi Suneel, Serial means anisble with attempt the action on the target machines in the serially, instead of the default parallel mode. This is for the rolling updates. Refer the below link for the detailed info. docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/playbooks_delegation.html Regards, Yogesh

[@SK_Maurya222]

It’s very nice vedio , can you make some more vedios of ansible playbook for migration VM or bare metal to Aws cloud. Also can you make play book for data migration?

[@lakkireddysrinivasareddy6689]

It's very good session, thanks for this video. My question is if we have multiple servers and want to update kernel on 3 machines at a time and if it is success on these machines then only it will move to next 3 machines and update kernel and so.on. Is this possible using Ansible, if yes please share me details it will be very helpful to me. Thank you.

[@VijayIT_Hub]

With the help of serial keyword in ansible we can achieve this .. Give serial =3 in yaml file

[@chandrashekharsingh7252]
