Vagrant Demo for Ansible (ad-hoc commands)

This demo setups up our vagrant environment so we can showcase the power of Ansible to run various ad-hoc commands and scripts.

=========================

Setup

Install Vagrant and Github.
Clone this repo: https://github.com/opsmotion/ansible_demo.git - This will create an ansible_demo directory full of the code required for this piece of work.
Cd into the ansible_demo firectory and run "vagrant up".
once the Vagrant machines have been created, use vagrant ssh to access them.

[ansible_demo]# vagrant ssh master.example.com

To run ansible against a list of hosts, create a hosts file and call it like this:

vagrant@master:~$ ansible -i list.dm all -m shell -a 'uptime' -k
