Lets Setup Ansible with password based

• For this lets use ubuntu 24.04 distribution
• Create a node for ansible installation (acn)
• ensure python is installed

python3 --version

• Lets install ansible on ubuntu 24.04

sudo apt update
sudo apt install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository --yes --update ppa:ansible/ansible
sudo apt install ansible -y
ansible --version

• Now create a inventory
• create a file called hosts with entry of ip address of node1

echo 98.70.49.154 > hosts

• Now lets run a simple adhoc command to check the connectivity i.e. to check if ansible and node are conifured correctly

ansible -i hosts -m ping all --ask-pass

• Create a node (node-1)
• ensure python is installed
• Exercise:
  • Try with two redhat systems
