if we use ansible-lint in production env then its safe to use, if possible can you create topic wise video on ansible including ansible gather facts, jina template, roles, variables, modules try to cover all topics in details.

[@RaghavPal]

Using `ansible-lint` in a production environment is considered safe and is actually recommended to ensure that your Ansible playbooks adhere to best practices and avoid common mistakes. It checks Ansible tasks themselves and can save you from execution errors and many hours of debugging¹. It's designed to catch errors in data before a file is processed, which helps prevent errors during critical stages of operation⁴. As for creating a topic-wise video on Ansible, I can't create videos, but I can certainly help you understand the various aspects of Ansible you've mentioned. Here's a brief overview: - Ansible Gather Facts: This is a default feature in Ansible that collects various details about the remote hosts as they are contacted in a playbook. It gathers useful variables about the hosts that can be used in playbooks. - Jinja Templates: Jinja2 is a templating language for Python, which is used by Ansible to enable dynamic expressions and access to variables and facts. You can use Jinja2 templates to generate files from templates, allowing for the customization of configurations based on variables. - Roles: Roles are ways of automatically loading certain vars_files, tasks, and handlers based on a known file structure. Grouping content by roles also allows easy sharing of roles with other users. - Variables: Variables in Ansible are how we deal with differences between systems. You can define variables in playbooks, in inventory, inside roles, and through command-line options. - Modules: Modules are the units of work in Ansible. Each module is mostly standalone and can be written in a standard scripting language such as Python, Perl, Ruby, etc.

python pip2 would be more helpful if you can show something on it in ansible context

Klo mau test playbook script nya gmn mas? Sebelum di execute ke server

[@RaghavPal]

To test a playbook script before executing it on a server, you can follow these steps: Step 1: Check the playbook syntax Use the ansible-playbook command with the --syntax-check option to check the playbook syntax for any errors. This command will not execute the playbook but will only check for syntax errors. Example Command ansible-playbook -i --syntax-check playbook.yml Step 2: Use the --check mode Use the ansible-playbook command with the --check option to run the playbook in dry-run mode. This mode will not make any changes to the server but will show you what changes would be made if you were to execute the playbook. Example Command ansible-playbook -i --check playbook.yml Step 3: Use a testing framework You can use a testing framework like molecule to test your playbook. Molecule provides a set of tools to test Ansible playbooks, including testing the playbook syntax, checking for idempotence, and verifying the playbook's behavior. Example Command molecule test -s playbook.yml By following these steps, you can test your playbook script before executing it on a server.
