Provision aws hosts

[Serega Sheypak]

Hi, I'm new to ansible and have confusion.

What I have right now:

ansible+vagrant playbook. Vagrant creates VMs in virtualbox and sets up networking.

Ansible does provisioning stuff:

- install

- configure

- put some templates

Right now all host names and IP addresses are hardcoded.

Example for host variable used to configure software.

/host_vars/dsenode03

config:

   cluster_name: 'DSE Cluster'

   seeds: '192.168.56.10'

   listen_address: 192.168.56.10

   rpc_address: 192.168.56.10

Really, I point dsenode03 to dsenode01 (92.168.56.10) 

If I turn to AWS I can't hardcode smth, since names,addresses would be different each time.

What is the right approach to remove hardcodes? Can I find some examples?

I think you want to look into using dynamic inventories.

Start with http://docs.ansible.com/intro_dynamic_inventory.html.
