## Linux
|
||||
|
||||
* What is the different between a soft link and hard link?
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
hard link is the same file, using the same inode.
|
||||
soft link is a shortcut to another file, using a different inode.
|
||||
|
||||
soft links can be created between different file systems while
|
||||
hard link can be created only within the same file system.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
* How to run a process in background and why to do that in the first place?
|
||||
```
|
||||
You can achieve that by specifying & at end of the command.
|
||||
As to Why? since some commands/processes can take a lot of time to finish
|
||||
execution or run forever
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
* What signal is used when you run 'kill <process id>'?
|
||||
```
|
||||
The default signal is SIGTERM (15). This signal kills
|
||||
process gracefully which means it allows it to save current
|
||||
state configuration.
|
||||
followup questions:
|
||||
what is SIGKILL?
|
||||
what other signals there are?
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Ansible
|
||||
|
||||
* Describe each of the following components in Ansible, including the relationship between them:
|
||||
* Task
|
||||
* Module
|
||||
* Play
|
||||
* Playbook
|
||||
* Role
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Task – a call to a specific Ansible module
|
||||
Module – the actual unit of code executed by Ansible on your own host or a remote host. Modules are indexed by category (database, file, network, …) and also referred as task plugins.
|
||||
|
||||
Play – One or more tasks executed on a given host(s)
|
||||
|
||||
Playbook – One or more plays. Each play can be executed on the same or different hosts
|
||||
|
||||
Role – Ansible roles allows you to group resources based on certain functionality/service such that they can be easily reused. In a role, you have directories for variables, defaults, files, templates, handlers, tasks, and metadata. You can then use the role by simply specifying it in your playbook.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
* Write a task to create the directory ‘/tmp/new_directory’
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
- name: Create a new directory
|
||||
file:
|
||||
path: "/tmp/new_directory"
|
||||
state: directory
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
* What would be the result of the following play?
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
---
|
||||
- name: Print information about my host
|
||||
hosts: localhost
|
||||
gather_facts: 'no'
|
||||
tasks:
|
||||
- name: Print hostname
|
||||
debug:
|
||||
msg: "It's me, {{ ansible_hostname }}"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
When given a written code, always inspect it thoroughly. If your answer is “this will fail” then you are right. We are using a fact (ansible_hostname), which is a gathered piece of information from the host we are running on. But in this case, we disabled facts gathering (gather_facts: no) so the variable would be undefined which will result in failure.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
* Write a playbook to install ‘zlib’ and ‘vim’ on all hosts if the file ‘/tmp/mario’ exists on the system.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
---
|
||||
- hosts: all
|
||||
vars:
|
||||
mario_file: /tmp/mario
|
||||
package_list:
|
||||
- 'zlib'
|
||||
- 'vim'
|
||||
tasks:
|
||||
- name: Check for mario file
|
||||
stat:
|
||||
path: "{{ mario_file }}"
|
||||
register: mario_f
|
||||
|
||||
- name: Install zlib and vim if mario file exists
|
||||
become: "yes"
|
||||
package:
|
||||
name: "{{ item }}"
|
||||
state: present
|
||||
with_items: "{{ package_list }}"
|
||||
when: mario_f.stat.exists
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
* Write a playbook to deploy the file ‘/tmp/system_info’ on all hosts except for controllers group, with the following content
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
I'm <HOSTNAME> and my operating system is <OS>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
replace <HOSTNAME> and <OS> with the actual data for the specific host you are running on
|
||||
|
||||
The playbook to deploy the system_info file
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
---
|
||||
- name: Deploy /tmp/system_info file
|
||||
hosts: all:!controllers
|
||||
tasks:
|
||||
- name: Deploy /tmp/system_info
|
||||
template:
|
||||
src: system_info.j2
|
||||
dest: /tmp/system_info
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The content of the system_info.j2 template
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
# {{ ansible_managed }}
|
||||
I'm {{ ansible_hostname }} and my operating system is {{ ansible_distribution }
|
||||
```
