<p>Playbooks are a completely different way to use ansible and are particularly awesome.</p>
<p>They are the basis for a really simple configuration management and deployment system, unlike any that already exist, and one that is very well suited to deploying complex multi-machine applications. While you might run the main ansible program for ad-hoc tasks, playbooks are more likely to be kept in source control and used to push out your configuration or assure the configurations of your remote systems are in spec.</p>
<div class="section" id="playbook-example">
<h2>Playbook Example<a class="headerlink" href="#playbook-example" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Playbooks are expressed in YAML format and have a minimum of syntax. Each playbook is composed
of one or more patterns in a list. By composing a playbook of multiple patterns, it is possible
to orchestrate multi-machine deployments, running certain steps on all machines in
the webservers group, then certain steps on the database server group, then more commands
back on the webservers group, etc:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>---
- hosts: all</pre>
</div>
<blockquote>
<div><dl class="docutils">
<dt>vars:</dt>
<dd>http_port: 80
max_clients: 200</dd>
</dl>
<p>user: root
tasks:
- include: base.yml somevar=3 othervar=4
- name: write the apache config file</p>
<blockquote>
<div>action: template src=/srv/httpd.j2 dest=/etc/httpd.conf
notify:
- restart apache</div></blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>name: ensure apache is running
action: service name=httpd state=started</li>
</ul>
<dl class="docutils">
<dt>handlers:</dt>
<dd><ul class="first last simple">
<li>include: handlers.yml</li>
</ul>
</dd>
</dl>
</div></blockquote>
</div>
<div class="section" id="hosts-line">
<h2>Hosts line<a class="headerlink" href="#hosts-line" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>The hosts line is alist of one or more groups or host patterns, seperated by colons.</p>
<blockquote>
<div>webservers:dbservers:<a href="#id1"><span class="problematic" id="id2">*</span></a>.foo.example.com</div></blockquote>
</div>
<div class="section" id="vars-section">
<h2>Vars section<a class="headerlink" href="#vars-section" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>A list of variables that can be used in the &#8216;action&#8217; lines of the template, or in
included templates. Variables are deferenced like this:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>{{ varname }}</pre>
</div>
<p>These variables will be pushed down to the managed systems for use in templating operations.</p>
<p>Further, if there are discovered variables about the system (say, if facter or ohai were
installed) these variables bubble up back into the playbook, and can be used on each
system just like explicitly set variables. Facter variables are prefixed with &#8216;facter&#8217;
and Ohai variables are prefixed with &#8216;ohai&#8217;.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="tasks-list">
<h2>Tasks list<a class="headerlink" href="#tasks-list" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Tasks are executed in order, one at a time, against all machines matched by the host
pattern, before moving on to the next task. Failed tasks are taken out of the rotation.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="task-name-and-comment">
<h2>Task name and comment<a class="headerlink" href="#task-name-and-comment" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Each task has a name (required) and optional comment. This is for informational purposes only</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="task-action">
<h2>Task action<a class="headerlink" href="#task-action" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>The action line is the name of an ansible module followed by parameters. Usually these
are expressed in key=value form, except for the command module, which looks just like a Linux/Unix
command line. See the module documentation for more info.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="notify-statements">
<h2>Notify statements<a class="headerlink" href="#notify-statements" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Nearly all modules are written to be &#8216;idempotent&#8217; and can signal when they have affected a change
on the remote system. If a notify statement is used, the named handler will be run against
each system where a change was effected, but NOT on systems where no change occurred.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="handlers">
<h2>Handlers<a class="headerlink" href="#handlers" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Handlers are lists of tasks, not really any different from regular tasks, that are referenced
by name.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="includes">
<h2>Includes<a class="headerlink" href="#includes" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Not all tasks have to be listed directly in the main file. An include file can contain
a list of tasks (in YAML) as well, optionally passing extra variables into the file.
Variables passed in can be deferenced like this:</p>
<blockquote>
<div>{{ variable }}</div></blockquote>
</div>
