Task Include files

The plays and playbooks can be called repeatedly between different tasks. Include files can be used to achieve a purpose

The system uses the include task to perfectly implement the role definition, remembering that play in playbook is ultimately

The goal is to map system clusters into multiple roles

Cat Tasks/foo.yml

---

# possibly saved as Tasks/foo.yml

-Name:placeholder foo

Command:/bin/foo

-Name:placeholder Bar

Command:/bin/bar

The include directive is similar to the following, which can be mixed in playbook like the normal tasks command

Tasks

-Include:tasks/foo.yml

You can also transfer variables to the includes directive, called parameterized include

How to distribute multiple WordPress instances, I can forgive all WordPress commands to a wordpress.yml

File

Tasks

-Include:wordpress.yml Wp_user=timmy

-Include:wordpress.yml Wp_user=alice

-Include:wordpress.yml Wp_user=bob

If you are using ansible1.4 or later, the include syntax simplifies matching roles while allowing

Passing parameter lists and dictionaries:

Tasks

-{include:wordpress.yml,wp_user:timmy,ssh_keys:[' keys/one.txt ', ' keys/two.txt '}

You can also refer to them {{Wp_user}}

Starting with 1.0, Ansible also supports a different way of passing variables to include files-structured variables

Methods are as follows

Tasks

-Include:wordpress.yml

VARs

Wp_user:timmy

Ssh_keys:

-Keys/one.txt

-Keys/two.txt

Playbooks can also include references to other playbooks

Includes functions can also be used in handlers areas, for example, if you want to define how to restart Apache, you only need to define a playbook, and only need to do it once. Edit the handers.yml similar to the following sample:

---

# This might is in a file like Handlers/handlers.yml

-Name:restart Apache

Service:name=apache state=restarted

You can then refer to the play in main playbook as follows:

Handlers:

-Include:handlers/handlers.yml

Includes can also mix references in tasks and handlers files that do not normally contain included. Includes is often used to import commands from one playbook file to another playbook. This allows us to define a top-level playbook (top-level playbook) made up of other playbooks.

-Name:this is a play on the top level of a file

Hosts:all

Remote_user:root

Tasks

-Name:say Hi

Tags:foo

Shell:echo "Hi ..."

-Include:load_balancers.yml

-Include:webservers.yml

-Include:dbservers.yml
