Fantastic ansible videos, excellent clear and precise presentations..
one question, in 17:30 inn this video you had to ssh to the workstation, I assume to sort out the finger print, my question is what if you had 100,s or 1000,s of such work stations?? surely you wouldnt have to ssh to each one to sort the finger printing.. your advise would be greatly appreciated .. thanking you in advance
I have been watching this series for about three days now and thank you so much. I have watched several others and just quit at the beginning because I just did not get it. but the way you present this information I get. so thank you.
How did the ansible playbook knew that the file is inside the file folder?
I am starting to learn Ansible. I need to find a way to actually input data into a file, for example, let's say I want the User to be asked "What is the ip address of remote machine?" followed by, "What is the FQDN or DNS name of the remote machine?"…. Now I want both of those two answers to be placed into "/etc/hosts".
Another example would be "my.cnf" for mysql manipulation. How can I automate entries into this file or any file actually?
I want to be able to automate a full, bespoke, freeradius solution for myself and need to know how to manipulate these files or it won't be fully automated.
Thanks

While watching the video, I was actually thinking about how to copy files with Ansible. Then, a few minutes in at 5:20 or so, I noticed the exact solution to my problem was right there all along .. fantastic! š
