Ansible Skill
This skill provides Ansible automation patterns and best practices.
Playbook Structure
---
- name: Configure web servers
hosts: webservers
become: true
vars:
http_port: 80
tasks:
- name: Install nginx
ansible.builtin.apt:
name: nginx
state: present
notify: Restart nginx
handlers:
- name: Restart nginx
ansible.builtin.service:
name: nginx
state: restarted
Role Structure
roles/
└── webserver/
├── defaults/main.yml # Default variables
├── handlers/main.yml # Handler definitions
├── tasks/main.yml # Task list
├── templates/ # Jinja2 templates
├── files/ # Static files
└── vars/main.yml # Role variables
Best Practices
Use Fully Qualified Collection Names
# ✅ Good
- ansible.builtin.apt:
name: nginx
# ❌ Bad (ambiguous)
- apt:
name: nginx
Idempotent Tasks
# Tasks should be safe to run multiple times
- name: Ensure config exists
ansible.builtin.template:
src: config.j2
dest: /etc/app/config.yml
# Only changes if content differs
Use Handlers for Service Restarts
tasks:
- name: Update config
template:
src: nginx.conf.j2
dest: /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
notify: Restart nginx
handlers:
- name: Restart nginx
service:
name: nginx
state: restarted
