Using Ansible to manage bind installation/basic setup.

[Stoffel, John (TAI)]

I'm using the following role, but only for a very simple secondary setup.

   ansible-galaxy install bertvv.bind

It's not the fastest, and I'm sure my ansible-foo isn't the best, but it's working for me so far.

Thanks for the recommendation.  I had found some existing playbook stuff, but confusing to understand.  Just using their basic support for templates was pretty easy.  Had some experience with Puppet in the past.  Ansible's use of simple SSH for access instead of requiring a remote client installed does make it a lot easier.



Best regards!
John

Ansible's template module is what you'd probably use for #1, the service
module (with handlers) for #2, and #3 comes out of the box when you use
Ansible.

While you might find existing roles and playbooks on the internets, I
would strongly recommend to vet them carefully in a test environment
before using them in production; just because something works for me
doesn't mean it will satisfy you. :)

Good luck,
