Ansible playbook Vault encryption details and use cases

 

Host Planning

 

Add user account

Explain:

1. Login accounts used by operations and maintenance personnel;

2. All businesses are placed under / app / in the "home directory of yun users" to avoid the disorder of business data;

3. This user is also used by ansible because almost all production environments prohibit root from logging on remotely (so this yun user also has sudo privileges).

1 # Use a dedicated user instead of using root directly
2 # Add users, specify home directories, and specify user passwords
3 # sudo claim
4 # Allow other users to access the directory to view information
5 useradd -u 1050 -d /app yun && echo '123456' | /usr/bin/passwd --stdin yun
6 echo "yun  ALL=(ALL)       NOPASSWD: ALL" >>  /etc/sudoers
7 chmod 755 /app/

Overview of Ansible Vault

When we write playbook, sensitive information is involved, such as: database account password; MQ account password; host account password.In order to prevent these sensitive information from being leaked, vault can be used for encryption.

 1 [yun@ansi-manager ~]$ ansible-vault -h
 2 Usage: ansible-vault [create|decrypt|edit|encrypt|encrypt_string|rekey|view] [options] [vaultfile.yml]

 4 Options:
 5   --ask-vault-pass      ask for vault password
 6   -h, --help            show this help message and exit
 7   --new-vault-id=NEW_VAULT_ID
 8                         the new vault identity to use for rekey
 9   --new-vault-password-file=NEW_VAULT_PASSWORD_FILE
10                         new vault password file for rekey
11   --vault-id=VAULT_IDS  the vault identity to use
12   --vault-password-file=VAULT_PASSWORD_FILES
13                         vault password file
14   -v, --verbose         verbose mode (-vvv for more, -vvvv to enable
15                         connection debugging)
16   --version             show program's version number, config file location,
17                         configured module search path, module location,
18                         executable location and exit
19 
20  See 'ansible-vault <command> --help' for more information on a specific
21 command.
