Summary
A summary of the content covered in this chapter.
We'll cover the following
In this chapter, we introduced tools and packages to connect to cloud providers, AWS
and Azure
, with your Ansible
environment.
Let’s do a recap of the objectives we set at the start of the chapter:
- Choose the connection method.
- Create environment variables.
- Verify connection to the cloud platform.
We have explored different Ansible Modules
for connecting to both AWS
and Azure
.
Both of them require accounts and security keys to be set up to connect with them. We exposed these keys as Environment variables
within the ansible container.
Once exposed, you used Ansible
to connect and create resources to verify that the connection works.
Dockerfile
As we advance, we will use different environments, one for AWS and one for Azure, to keep our settings compact.
AWS
Your Ansible environment requires the following add-on packages to connect with AWS
:
