ChatGPT:

Sure, I can provide you with some example Ansible playbook code for different use cases. However, please note
that the code might need to be adjusted based on your specific environment and requirements. Ansible playbooks
are written in YAML format and consist of tasks that define what actions should be taken on remote hosts. Let's
look at a few common use cases:

Use Case 1: Installing Packages

In this use case, we'll create a playbook to install a package on remote servers.

yaml
---
- name: Install Apache on Web Servers
hosts: webservers
become: yes

tasks:
- name: Update apt cache (for Debian/Ubuntu)
apt:
update_cache: yes
when: ansible_os_family == 'Debian'

- name: Install Apache


package:
name: apache2
state: present

handlers:
- name: Restart Apache
service:
name: apache2
state: restarted

Use Case 2: Managing Users and SSH Keys

This playbook will create a new user and deploy their SSH public key.

yaml
---
- name: Manage Users and SSH Keys
hosts: all
become: yes

tasks:
- name: Create user
user:
name: john
password: "{{ 'password' | password_hash('sha512') }}"
state: present

- name: Deploy SSH key for user

Use Case 3: Configuring a Web Server

Here's an example playbook to deploy a web application by copying files and restarting the web server.

yaml
---
- name: Deploy Web App
hosts: webservers
become: yes

tasks:
- name: Copy app files
copy:
src: /path/to/app
dest: /var/www/html/app

- name: Ensure Apache is running


service:
name: apache2
state: started

Use Case 4: Database Backup

This playbook demonstrates how to create a backup of a database.

yaml
---
- name: Backup Database
hosts: dbserver
become: yes

tasks:
- name: Dump database
command: mysqldump -u root -p{{ db_root_password }} dbname > /tmp/dbbackup.sql

- name: Copy backup locally


fetch:
src: /tmp/dbbackup.sql
dest: /backup/

vars:
db_root_password: your_db_root_password

Use Case 5: Deploying Docker Containers

This playbook shows how to deploy a Docker container.

yaml
---
- name: Deploy Docker Container
hosts: dockerhost
become: yes

tasks:
- name: Pull Docker image
docker_image:
name: nginx
source: pull

- name: Run Docker container


docker_container:
name: my_nginx
image: nginx
ports:
- "80:80"

Remember to replace placeholders like host names, paths, passwords, and other specific details with your actual
information. Additionally, these playbooks are basic examples and might require adjustments to suit your
environment and security requirements. Always ensure to thoroughly test in a controlled environment before
deploying to production.
