#Puppet Orchestration Using Ansible

Right now, the only way to run this repo is to spin up vagrant instances to test ansible against. The playbooks setup a Puppet Enterprise master and two agents.

Requirements: You will need to install ansible before using this repo. Virtualbox and Vagrant are also required.

##Vagrant Testing

###1. Clone this repo

###2. cd puppet-ansible && vagrant up

###3. Setup ssh keys using ansible to make things easier:

ansible-playbook -c paramiko -i setup/hosts setup/setup.yml --ask-pass --sudo

NOTE: If you destroy the vagrant instances, re-create them, and re-run this playbook, you will get errors unless you remove the vagrant IP addresses from your laptop's known hosts file.

You'll be prompted for a password. It is 'vagrant.' You will then be prompted to type yes three times, much like you would when initializing a new ssh connection to a node.

###4. Setup the master:

ansible-playbook -i hosts master.yml

###5. Setup the agents:

ansible-playbook -i hosts agent.yml --extra-vars "puppetserver=192.168.33.10"

##Directories

###Vagrantfile A simple one nabbed from the ansible tutorial, changed slightly to include more memory due to PE needing more resources.

###agent.yml Playbook to install PE agents. Calls common and puppetagent role.

###group_vars Variables that are set per group. In the world of ansible, "group" means groups that are set in the host inventory file.

###host_vars Variables set per host.

###hosts Ansible's host inventory file.

###master.yml Playbook to install PE master. Calls common and puppetmaster role.

###roles Contains playbooks and files specific to roles. Right now we have common, puppetagent and puppetmaster.

###setup Playbooks to do some basic setup on the vagrant instances.

####To do:

1. Make POSS/puppet apply an option
2. AWS setup
