About the App

Setting up a Mac using Ansible. Each playbook is called from the main playbook which downloads the application from the web and then executes the set of codes depending on the type of file. So, I started my Ansible work using a local Ubuntu 18.04 virtual machine. This provided a real level of safe isolation, but I soon found that managing it was tedious. I set out to see how to get a flexible but isolated Ansible system on native MacOS. Since Ansible is based on Python, Conda seemed to be the ideal solution. Installing Conda. Write an infrastructure application in TypeScript and Python using CDK for Terraform. In the first line, we give the task a meaningful name so we know what Ansible is doing. In the next line, the yum module updates the CentOS virtual machine (VM), then name: '.' tells yum to update everything, and, finally, state: latest updates to the latest RPM.
