```
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Insufficient disk space
|
||||
|
||||
Check available space:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ansible all -m shell -a "df -h /var/backups"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Clean old backups:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/backup.yml --tags cleanup
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Database backup fails
|
||||
|
||||
Check database connectivity:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# MySQL
|
||||
ansible all -m shell -a "mysqldump --version"
|
||||
|
||||
# PostgreSQL
|
||||
ansible all -m shell -a "sudo -u postgres pg_dumpall --version"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Backup integrity check fails
|
||||
|
||||
Manually verify:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ansible all -m shell -a "gzip -t /var/backups/config/*.gz"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Restore from Backup
|
||||
|
||||
See [Disaster Recovery Playbook](disaster_recovery.md) for restoration procedures.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Quick restore example
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/disaster_recovery.yml \
|
||||
--limit failed_host \
|
||||
--extra-vars "dr_backup_date=2025-01-11"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Test restores regularly** - Backups are useless if they can't be restored
|
||||
2. **Monitor backup sizes** - Watch for unexpected growth
|
||||
3. **Use remote storage** - Don't keep backups only on the same host
|
||||
4. **Verify backups** - Always enable verification
|
||||
5. **Document retention** - Follow compliance requirements
|
||||
6. **Encrypt sensitive backups** - Use encryption for databases
|
||||
7. **Schedule appropriately** - Run during low-activity periods
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Reference Commands
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Full backup with verification
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/backup.yml \
|
||||
--extra-vars "backup_type=full"
|
||||
|
||||
# Configuration only
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/backup.yml --tags config
|
||||
|
||||
# Databases only
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/backup.yml --tags databases
|
||||
|
||||
# Cleanup old backups (30+ days)
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/backup.yml --tags cleanup
|
||||
|
||||
# Custom retention (90 days)
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/backup.yml --tags cleanup \
|
||||
--extra-vars "backup_retention_days=90"
|
||||
|
||||
# Dry-run
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/backup.yml --check
|
||||
|
||||
# Specific host only
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/backup.yml --limit hostname
|
||||
|
||||

# Disaster Recovery Playbook Cheatsheet
|
||||
|
||||
Quick reference for using the disaster recovery playbook.
|
||||
|
||||
## ⚠️ WARNING
|
||||
|
||||
This playbook performs **DESTRUCTIVE OPERATIONS**. Only use when recovering from a disaster or system failure.
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Assess damage only (safe)
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/disaster_recovery.yml --limit failed_host --tags assess
|
||||
|
||||
# Full recovery
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/disaster_recovery.yml --limit failed_host \
|
||||
--extra-vars "dr_backup_date=2025-01-11"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Backups available** - Ensure backups exist in `/var/backups/`
|
||||
2. **System accessible** - Host must be reachable via SSH

## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Backup not found
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check backup location
|
||||
ansible failed_host -m shell -a "ls -la /var/backups/"
|
||||
|
||||
# Restore from remote backup server
|
||||
ansible failed_host -m synchronize \
|
||||
-a "src=/mnt/backup-server/backups/ dest=/var/backups/ mode=pull"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### SSH connection lost during recovery
|
||||
|
||||
The SSH service restart is designed to maintain connections. If lost:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Wait 60 seconds for SSH to restart
|
||||
# Retry connection
|
||||
|
||||
ansible failed_host -m ping
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Service won't start after recovery
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check service status
|
||||
ansible failed_host -m shell -a "systemctl status service_name"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check service logs
|
||||
ansible failed_host -m shell -a "journalctl -u service_name -n 50"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### SELinux blocking services
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Relabel SELinux contexts
|
||||
ansible failed_host -m shell -a "restorecon -R /etc /var"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Post-Recovery Checklist
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Verify all services running
|
||||
- [ ] Test application functionality
|
||||
- [ ] Check disk space
|
||||
- [ ] Review system logs
|
||||
- [ ] Verify backups are current
|
||||
- [ ] Update documentation
|
||||
- [ ] Notify stakeholders
|
||||
- [ ] Conduct lessons learned review
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Test recovery procedures regularly** - Monthly DR drills
|
||||
2. **Document recovery time objectives (RTO)** - Know your targets
|
||||
3. **Keep backups off-site** - Don't rely on local backups only
|
||||
4. **Verify backup integrity** - Test restores before disasters
|
||||
5. **Maintain runbooks** - Document specific recovery procedures
|
||||
6. **Practice on staging** - Test recovery in non-production first
|
||||
7. **Have communication plan** - Know who to notify
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
### Using jq for Data Extraction
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Get CPU models across all hosts
|
||||
jq -r '.cpu.model' ./stats/machines/*/system_info.json
|
||||
|
||||
# Get memory usage
|
||||
jq -r '"\(.host_info.fqdn): \(.memory.usage_percent)%"' \
|
||||
./stats/machines/*/system_info.json
|
||||
|
||||
# Find hypervisors
|
||||
jq -r 'select(.hypervisor.is_hypervisor == true) | .host_info.fqdn' \
|
||||
./stats/machines/*/system_info.json
|
||||
|
||||
# Find virtual machines
|
||||
jq -r 'select(.hypervisor.is_virtual == true) | .host_info.fqdn' \
|
||||
./stats/machines/*/system_info.json
|
||||
|
||||
# Get OS distribution
|
||||
jq -r '"\(.host_info.fqdn): \(.system.distribution) \(.system.distribution_version)"' \
|
||||
./stats/machines/*/system_info.json
|
||||
|
||||
# Find hosts with high CPU count
|
||||
jq -r 'select(.cpu.count.vcpus > 8) | "\(.host_info.fqdn): \(.cpu.count.vcpus) vCPUs"' \
|
||||
./stats/machines/*/system_info.json
|
||||
|
||||
# Find hosts with low disk space
|
||||
jq -r 'select(.disk.usage_percent > 80) | "\(.host_info.fqdn): \(.disk.usage_percent)%"' \
|
||||
./stats/machines/*/system_info.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Generate Reports
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# CSV export: Hostname, OS, CPU, Memory
|
||||
jq -r '["FQDN","OS","CPU Cores","Memory GB"],
|
||||
([.host_info.fqdn, .system.distribution,
|
||||
.cpu.count.vcpus, (.memory.total_mb/1024|round)]) | @csv' \
|
||||
./stats/machines/*/system_info.json > infrastructure_report.csv
|
||||
|
||||
# Count CPUs across infrastructure
|
||||
jq -s 'map(.cpu.count.total_cores | tonumber) | add' \
|
||||
./stats/machines/*/system_info.json
|
||||
|
||||
# Total memory across infrastructure (GB)
|
||||
jq -s 'map(.memory.total_mb | tonumber) | add / 1024 | round' \
|
||||
./stats/machines/*/system_info.json
|
||||
|
||||
# List GPU-enabled hosts
|
||||
jq -r 'select(.gpu.detected == true) | "\(.host_info.fqdn): \(.gpu.devices[0].model)"' \
|
||||
./stats/machines/*/system_info.json
|
||||
|
||||
# SELinux status report
|
||||
jq -r '"\(.host_info.fqdn): SELinux \(.security.selinux)"' \
|
||||
./stats/machines/*/system_info.json | grep -v "N/A"
|
||||
|
||||
# AppArmor status report
|
||||
jq -r '"\(.host_info.fqdn): AppArmor \(.security.apparmor)"' \
|
||||
./stats/machines/*/system_info.json | grep -v "N/A"
|
||||
```

host=$(jq -r '.host_info.fqdn' "$stats_file")
|
||||
cpu=$(jq -r '.cpu.count.vcpus' "$stats_file")
|
||||
mem=$(jq -r '.memory.total_mb' "$stats_file")
|
||||
|
||||
cat <<EOF > /var/lib/node_exporter/textfile_collector/${host}.prom
|
||||
# HELP system_info_cpu_count Number of CPU cores
|
||||
# TYPE system_info_cpu_count gauge
|
||||
system_info_cpu_count{host="$host"} $cpu
|
||||
|
||||
# HELP system_info_memory_mb Total memory in MB
|
||||
# TYPE system_info_memory_mb gauge
|
||||
system_info_memory_mb{host="$host"} $mem
|
||||
EOF
|
||||
done
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Check Playbook Execution
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Dry-run (check mode)
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml --check
|
||||
|
||||
# Verbose output
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml -v
|
||||
|
||||
# Very verbose (debug)
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml -vvv
|
||||
|
||||
# Single host debugging
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml \
|
||||
--limit problematic-host -vvv
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Issues
|
||||
|
||||
**Missing packages**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Install packages manually first
|
||||
ansible all -m package -a "name=lshw,dmidecode,pciutils state=present" --become
|
||||
|
||||
# Or run with install tag only
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml --tags install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Permission errors**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Ensure become is enabled
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml --become
|
||||
|
||||
# Check sudo access
|
||||
ansible all -m ping --become
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Statistics not saved**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check if directory exists
|
||||
ls -la ./stats/machines/
|
||||
|
||||
# Check disk space
|
||||
df -h .
|
||||
|
||||
# Create directory manually
|
||||
mkdir -p ./stats/machines
|
||||
|
||||
# Specify alternative directory
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml \
|
||||
-e "system_info_stats_base_dir=/tmp/stats"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Slow execution**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Skip slow operations
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml \
|
||||
--skip-tags install,network
|
||||
|
||||
# Disable GPU gathering
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml \
|
||||
-e "system_info_gather_gpu=false"
|
||||
|
||||
# Increase parallelism
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml -f 20
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Validation
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Verify JSON files are valid
|
||||
for f in ./stats/machines/*/system_info.json; do
|
||||
echo "Checking $f"
|
||||
jq empty "$f" && echo "✓ OK" || echo "✗ INVALID"
|
||||
done
|
||||
|
||||
# Check for missing files
|
||||
for host in $(ansible all --list-hosts | tail -n +2); do
|
||||
if [ ! -f "./stats/machines/${host}/system_info.json" ]; then
|
||||
echo "Missing: $host"
|
||||
fi
|
||||
done
|
||||
|
||||
# Verify data completeness
|
||||
jq -r 'if .cpu == null then "Missing CPU data" else "OK" end' \
|
||||
./stats/machines/*/system_info.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Optimization
|
||||
|
||||
### Parallel Execution
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Default (5 hosts at a time)
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml
|
||||
|
||||
# Increase parallelism
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml -f 20
|
||||
|
||||
# Serial execution (one at a time)
|

||||
# Run maintenance and check reboot status
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/maintenance.yml
|
||||
|
||||
# Look for: "Reboot required: true" in output
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Perform Reboot
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# WARNING: This will reboot hosts one at a time!
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/maintenance.yml --tags reboot
|
||||
|
||||
# Reboot specific environment
|
||||
ansible-playbook -i inventories/staging playbooks/maintenance.yml --tags reboot
|
||||
|
||||
# Control reboot parallelism
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/maintenance.yml --tags reboot \
|
||||
--extra-vars "maintenance_serial=1"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Serial Execution
|
||||
|
||||
Control how many hosts are updated simultaneously:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Update all hosts in parallel (default)
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/maintenance.yml
|
||||
|
||||
# Update one host at a time
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/maintenance.yml \
|
||||
--extra-vars "maintenance_serial=1"
|
||||
|
||||
# Update 25% of hosts at a time
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/maintenance.yml \
|
||||
--extra-vars "maintenance_serial=25%"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Output and Logs
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
=========================================
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Package updates fail
|
||||
|
||||
Check update repositories:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Debian/Ubuntu
|
||||
ansible all -m shell -a "apt update"
|
||||
|
||||
# RHEL/CentOS
|
||||
ansible all -m shell -a "dnf check-update"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Disk space warnings
|
||||
|
||||
Free up space manually before maintenance:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/maintenance.yml --tags cleanup
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Service not running after update
|
||||
|
||||
Check service status:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ansible all -m shell -a "systemctl status <service>"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Scheduling Maintenance
|
||||
|
||||
### Cron Example
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Daily security updates at 2 AM
|
||||
0 2 * * * cd /opt/ansible && ansible-playbook playbooks/maintenance.yml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### SystemD Timer Example
|
||||
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
# /etc/systemd/system/ansible-maintenance.timer
|
||||
[Unit]
|
||||
Description=Ansible Maintenance
|
||||
|
||||
[Timer]
|
||||
OnCalendar=daily
|
||||
Persistent=true
|
||||
|
||||
[Install]
|
||||
WantedBy=timers.target
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Test in staging first** - Always run in staging before production
|
||||
2. **Monitor during updates** - Watch for failures
|
||||
3. **Check reboot requirements** - Plan reboots during maintenance windows
|
||||
4. **Review logs** - Check maintenance logs for issues
|
||||
5. **Use serial execution** for production - Update hosts gradually
|
||||
6. **Schedule appropriately** - Run during low-traffic periods
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Reference Commands
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Dry-run (no changes)
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/maintenance.yml --check
|
||||
|
||||
# Staging environment
|
||||
ansible-playbook -i inventories/staging playbooks/maintenance.yml
|
||||
|
||||
# Production (one host at a time)
|
||||
ansible-playbook -i inventories/production playbooks/maintenance.yml \
|
||||
--extra-vars "maintenance_serial=1"
|
||||
|
||||
# Updates only, no cleanup
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/maintenance.yml --tags updates
|
||||
|
||||
# Full upgrade (non-security too)
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/maintenance.yml \
|
||||
--extra-vars "maintenance_security_only=false"
|
||||
|
||||
# Cleanup only
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/maintenance.yml --tags cleanup
|
||||
|
||||
# Check if reboot needed
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/maintenance.yml --tags verify
|
||||
|
||||
# Reboot if needed
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/maintenance.yml --tags reboot
|
||||
```

## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### No audit reports generated
|
||||
|
||||
Check report directory exists:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ls -la ./reports/security_audit/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Failed checks
|
||||
|
||||
Review specific failed checks:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/security_audit.yml -vv
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Permission denied
|
||||
|
||||
Ensure become is enabled:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/security_audit.yml --become
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Integration with CI/CD
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# GitLab CI example
|
||||
security_audit:
|
||||
stage: compliance
|
||||
script:
|
||||
- ansible-playbook playbooks/security_audit.yml
|
||||
only:
|
||||
- schedules
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Schedule regular audits** - Run weekly or after changes
|
||||
2. **Review reports** - Don't just run audits, act on findings
|
||||
3. **Track trends** - Compare audit results over time
|
||||
4. **Document exceptions** - Note why certain checks fail
|
||||
5. **Remediate findings** - Create tasks to fix issues
|
||||
|
||||

# Deploy Linux VM Role Cheatsheet
|
||||
|
||||
Quick reference guide for the `deploy_linux_vm` role - automated Linux VM deployment on KVM hypervisors with LVM and security hardening.
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Deploy a VM with defaults (Debian 12)
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm
|
||||
|
||||
# Deploy specific distribution
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm \
|
||||
-e "deploy_linux_vm_os_distribution=ubuntu-22.04"
|
||||
|
||||
# Deploy with custom resources
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm \
|
||||
-e "deploy_linux_vm_name=webserver01" \
|
||||
-e "deploy_linux_vm_vcpus=4" \
|
||||
-e "deploy_linux_vm_memory_mb=8192"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Execution Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic Deployment
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Single VM deployment
|
||||
ansible-playbook -i inventories/production site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm
|
||||
|
||||
# Deploy to specific hypervisor
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -l grokbox -t deploy_linux_vm
|
||||
|
||||
# Check mode (dry-run validation)
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm --check
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Distribution-Specific Deployment
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Debian family
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm \
|
||||
-e "deploy_linux_vm_os_distribution=debian-12"
|
||||
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm \
|
||||
-e "deploy_linux_vm_os_distribution=ubuntu-24.04"
|
||||
|
||||
# RHEL family
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm \
|
||||
-e "deploy_linux_vm_os_distribution=almalinux-9"
|
||||
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm \
|
||||
-e "deploy_linux_vm_os_distribution=rocky-9"
|
||||
|
||||
# SUSE family
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm \
|
||||
-e "deploy_linux_vm_os_distribution=opensuse-leap-15.6"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Selective Execution with Tags
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Pre-flight validation only
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm,validate,preflight
|
||||
|
||||
# Download cloud images only
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm,download,verify
|
||||
|
||||
# Deploy VM without LVM configuration
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm --skip-tags lvm
|
||||
|
||||
# Configure LVM only (post-deployment)
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm,lvm,post-deploy
|
||||
|
||||
# Cleanup temporary files only
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm,cleanup
|
||||
```

```
|
||||
|
||||
## Post-Deployment Verification
|
||||
|
||||
### Check VM Status
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# List all VMs on hypervisor
|
||||
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh list --all"
|
||||
|
||||
# Get VM information
|
||||
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh dominfo <vm_name>"
|
||||
|
||||
# Get VM IP address
|
||||
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh domifaddr <vm_name>"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Verify SSH Access
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Test SSH connectivity
|
||||
ssh ansible@<VM_IP>
|
||||
|
||||
# Test with ProxyJump through hypervisor
|
||||
ssh -J grokbox ansible@<VM_IP>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Verify LVM Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# SSH to VM and check LVM
|
||||
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "sudo vgs && sudo lvs && sudo pvs"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check fstab entries
|
||||
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "cat /etc/fstab"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check disk layout
|
||||
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "lsblk"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check mounted filesystems
|
||||
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "df -h"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Verify Security Hardening
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check SSH configuration
|
||||
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "sudo sshd -T | grep -i gssapi"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check firewall (Debian/Ubuntu)
|
||||
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "sudo ufw status verbose"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check firewall (RHEL/AlmaLinux)
|
||||
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "sudo firewall-cmd --list-all"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check SELinux status (RHEL family)
|
||||
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "sudo getenforce"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check AppArmor status (Debian family)
|
||||
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "sudo aa-status"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check auditd
|
||||
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "sudo systemctl status auditd"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check automatic updates (Debian/Ubuntu)
|
||||
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "sudo systemctl status unattended-upgrades"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check automatic updates (RHEL/AlmaLinux)
|
||||
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "sudo systemctl status dnf-automatic.timer"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Check Cloud-Init Status
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Wait for cloud-init to complete
|
||||
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "cloud-init status --wait"
|
||||
|
||||
# View cloud-init logs
|
||||
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "tail -100 /var/log/cloud-init-output.log"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check cloud-init errors
|
||||
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "cloud-init analyze show"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### VM Won't Start
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check VM status
|
||||
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh list --all"
|
||||
|
||||
# View VM console logs
|
||||
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh console <vm_name>"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check libvirt logs
|
||||
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "tail -50 /var/log/libvirt/qemu/<vm_name>.log"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### LVM Issues
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check LVM status
|
||||
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "sudo pvs && sudo vgs && sudo lvs"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check if second disk exists
|
||||
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "lsblk"
|
||||
|
||||
# Manually trigger LVM setup (if post-deploy failed)
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -l grokbox -t deploy_linux_vm,lvm,post-deploy \
|
||||
-e "deploy_linux_vm_name=<vm_name>"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Network Connectivity Issues
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check VM network interfaces
|
||||
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "ip addr show"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check VM can reach internet
|
||||
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "ping -c 3 8.8.8.8"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check DNS resolution
|
||||
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "nslookup google.com"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check libvirt network
|
||||
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh net-list --all"
|
||||
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh net-dhcp-leases default"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### SSH Connection Refused
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check if sshd is running
|
||||
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "sudo systemctl status sshd"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check firewall rules
|
||||
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "sudo ufw status" # Debian/Ubuntu
|
||||
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "sudo firewall-cmd --list-services" # RHEL
|
||||
|
||||
# Check SSH port listening
|
||||
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "sudo ss -tlnp | grep :22"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Disk Space Issues
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check hypervisor disk space
|
||||
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "df -h /var/lib/libvirt/images"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check VM disk space
|
||||
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "df -h"
|
||||
|
||||
# List large files
|
||||
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "sudo du -sh /* | sort -h"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## VM Management
|
||||
|
||||
### Start/Stop/Reboot VM
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Start VM
|
||||
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh start <vm_name>"
|
||||
|
||||
# Shutdown VM gracefully
|
||||
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh shutdown <vm_name>"
|
||||
|
||||
# Force stop VM
|
||||
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh destroy <vm_name>"
|
||||
|
||||
# Reboot VM
|
||||
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh reboot <vm_name>"
|
||||
|
||||
# Enable autostart
|
||||
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh autostart <vm_name>"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Delete VM
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Stop and delete VM (DESTRUCTIVE)
|
||||
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh destroy <vm_name>"
|
||||
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh undefine <vm_name> --remove-all-storage"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### VM Snapshots
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Create snapshot
|
||||
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh snapshot-create-as <vm_name> snapshot1 'Before updates'"
|
||||
|
||||
# List snapshots
|
||||
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh snapshot-list <vm_name>"
|
||||
|
||||
# Restore snapshot
|
||||
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh snapshot-revert <vm_name> snapshot1"
|
||||
|
||||
# Delete snapshot
|
||||
ansible grokbox -m shell -a "virsh snapshot-delete <vm_name> snapshot1"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Optimization
|
||||
|
||||
### Parallel Deployment
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Deploy multiple VMs in parallel (default: 5 at a time)
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm -f 5
|
||||
|
||||
# Serial deployment (one at a time)
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm -f 1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Skip Slow Operations
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Skip package installation (if already installed)
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm --skip-tags install
|
||||
|
||||
# Skip image download (if already cached)
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm --skip-tags download
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

# System Info Role Cheatsheet
|
||||
|
||||
Quick reference guide for the `system_info` role - comprehensive system information gathering.
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Run complete information gathering
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info
|
||||
|
||||
# Run on specific hosts
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -l webservers -t system_info
|
||||
|
||||
# Run with validation only
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info,validate
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Execution Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Full Execution
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# All hosts, all information
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info
|
||||
|
||||
# Single host
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -l hostname.example.com -t system_info
|
||||
|
||||
# Specific group
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -l production -t system_info
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Selective Information Gathering
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# CPU information only
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info,cpu
|
||||
|
||||
# GPU information only
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info,gpu
|
||||
|
||||
# Memory and swap only
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info,memory
|
||||
|
||||
# Disk information only
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info,disk
|
||||
|
||||
# Network information only
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info,network
|
||||
|
||||
# Hypervisor detection only
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info,hypervisor
|
||||
|
||||
# System information only
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info,system
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Combined Tags
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# CPU, Memory, and Disk
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info,cpu,memory,disk
|
||||
|
||||
# Skip installation, gather only
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info --skip-tags install
|
||||
|
||||
# Validation and health check
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info,validate,health-check
|
||||
|
||||
# Export statistics only (requires prior gathering)
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info,export
|
||||
```

```
|
||||
|
||||
## Example Playbooks
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic Playbook
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
---
|
||||
- name: Gather system information
|
||||
hosts: all
|
||||
become: true
|
||||
roles:
|
||||
- system_info
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Advanced Playbook
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
---
|
||||
- name: Gather detailed system information
|
||||
hosts: all
|
||||
become: true
|
||||
roles:
|
||||
- role: system_info
|
||||
vars:
|
||||
system_info_stats_base_dir: /var/lib/ansible/inventory
|
||||
system_info_json_indent: 4
|
||||
system_info_gather_gpu: true
|
||||
system_info_detect_hypervisor: true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Targeted Playbook
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
---
|
||||
- name: Gather hypervisor information only
|
||||
hosts: hypervisors
|
||||
become: true
|
||||
tasks:
|
||||
- name: Include system_info role for hypervisor detection
|
||||
include_role:
|
||||
name: system_info
|
||||
tasks_from: detect_hypervisor
|
||||
tags: [hypervisor]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Check Role Execution
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Dry-run (check mode)
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info --check
|
||||
|
||||
# Verbose output
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info -v
|
||||
|
||||
# Very verbose (debug)
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info -vvv
|
||||
|
||||
# Single host debugging
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -l problematic-host -t system_info -vvv
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Issues
|
||||
|
||||
**Missing packages**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Install packages manually first
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info,install
|
||||
|
||||
# Check what would be installed
|
||||
ansible all -m package_facts
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Permission errors**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Ensure become is enabled
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info --become
|
||||
|
||||
# Check sudo access
|
||||
ansible all -m ping --become
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Statistics not saved**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check if directory exists
|
||||
ls -la ./stats/machines/
|
||||
|
||||
# Check disk space on control node
|
||||
df -h .
|
||||
|
||||
# Verify write permissions
|
||||
touch ./stats/machines/test && rm ./stats/machines/test
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Validation
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Run only validation tasks
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info,validate
|
||||
|
||||
# Check specific host health
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -l server01 -t validate,health-check
|
||||
|
||||
# Verify JSON files
|
||||
for f in ./stats/machines/*/system_info.json; do
|
||||
echo "Checking $f"
|
||||
jq empty "$f" && echo "OK" || echo "INVALID"
|
||||
done
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Optimization
|
||||
|
||||
### Parallel Execution
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Increase parallelism (default: 5)
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info -f 20
|
||||
|
||||
# Serial execution (one at a time)
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info -f 1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Skip Slow Tasks
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Skip installation if packages are pre-installed
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info --skip-tags install
|
||||
|
||||
# Skip network gathering (can be slow)
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info --skip-tags network
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Integration Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### Cron Job for Regular Collection
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Daily collection at 2 AM
|
||||
0 2 * * * cd /opt/ansible && ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info >> /var/log/ansible/system_info.log 2>&1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Generate HTML Report
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Convert JSON to HTML
|
||||
for host in ./stats/machines/*; do
|
||||
hostname=$(basename "$host")
|
||||
jq -r 'to_entries | map("\(.key): \(.value)") | .[]' \
|
||||
"$host/system_info.json" > "$host/report.txt"
|
||||
done
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Compare Statistics
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Compare CPU across hosts
|
||||
jq -r '"\(.host_info.fqdn),\(.cpu.model),\(.cpu.count.vcpus)"' \
|
||||
./stats/machines/*/system_info.json | column -t -s,
|
||||
|
||||
# Compare memory across hosts
|
||||
jq -r '"\(.host_info.fqdn),\(.memory.total_mb) MB,\(.memory.usage_percent)%"' \
|
||||
./stats/machines/*/system_info.json | column -t -s,
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Security Checkpoints
|
||||
|
||||
- ✓ Role runs with `become: true` for hardware access
|
||||
- ✓ No credentials or secrets are collected
|
||||
- ✓ Statistics files contain infrastructure details - protect appropriately
|
||||
- ✓ Sensitive data (serial numbers, UUIDs) included - review before sharing
|
||||
- ✓ Files stored on control node only - not on managed hosts
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Reference Commands
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Full scan
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info
|
||||
|
||||
# CPU + Memory only
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info,cpu,memory
|
||||
|
||||
# Validate all hosts
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info,validate
|
||||
|
||||
# Export only (no gathering)
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info,export
|
||||
|
||||
# Single host, verbose
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -l hostname -t system_info -v
|
||||
|
||||
# View latest stats
|
||||
cat ./stats/machines/$(hostname -f)/summary.txt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Ansible Ad-Hoc Alternatives
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Quick CPU check
|
||||
ansible all -m shell -a "lscpu | grep 'Model name'"
|
||||
|
||||
# Quick memory check
|
||||
ansible all -m shell -a "free -h"
|
||||
|
||||
# Quick disk check
|
||||
ansible all -m shell -a "df -h"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check virtualization
|
||||
ansible all -m shell -a "systemd-detect-virt"
|
||||
```

# Infrastructure Architecture Overview
|
||||
|
||||
## Executive Summary
|
||||
|
||||
This document provides a comprehensive overview of the Ansible-based infrastructure automation architecture. The system is designed with security-first principles, leveraging Infrastructure as Code (IaC) best practices for automated provisioning, configuration management, and operational excellence.
|
||||
|
||||
**Architecture Version**: 1.0.0
|
||||
**Last Updated**: 2025-11-11
|
||||
**Document Owner**: Ansible Infrastructure Team
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Architecture Principles
|
||||
|
||||
### Security-First Design
|
||||
|
||||
All infrastructure components implement defense-in-depth security:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Least Privilege**: Service accounts with minimal required permissions
|
||||
- **Encryption**: Data encrypted at rest and in transit
|
||||
- **Hardening**: CIS Benchmark-compliant system configuration
|
||||
- **Auditing**: Comprehensive logging and audit trails
|
||||
- **Automation**: Security patches applied automatically
|
||||
|
||||
### Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
|
||||
|
||||
All infrastructure is defined, versioned, and managed as code:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Version Control**: Git-based change tracking
|
||||
- **Declarative Configuration**: Ansible playbooks and roles
|
||||
- **Idempotency**: Safe re-execution without side effects
|
||||
- **Documentation**: Self-documenting through code
|
||||
|
||||
### Scalability & Modularity
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Scaling Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
### Horizontal Scaling
|
||||
|
||||
**Add compute capacity**:
|
||||
- Add hypervisor hosts
|
||||
- Deploy additional VMs
|
||||
- Update load balancer configuration
|
||||
- Rebalance workloads
|
||||
|
||||
**Automation**:
|
||||
- Dynamic inventory auto-discovers new hosts
|
||||
- Ansible playbooks target groups, not individuals
|
||||
- Configuration applied uniformly
|
||||
|
||||
### Vertical Scaling
|
||||
|
||||
**Increase VM resources**:
|
||||
- Shutdown VM
|
||||
- Modify vCPU/memory allocation (virsh)
|
||||
- Resize disk volumes (LVM)
|
||||
- Restart VM
|
||||
- Verify application performance
|
||||
|
||||
### Storage Scaling
|
||||
|
||||
**Expand LVM volumes**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Add new disk to hypervisor
|
||||
# Attach to VM as /dev/vdc
|
||||
|
||||
# Extend volume group
|
||||
pvcreate /dev/vdc
|
||||
vgextend vg_system /dev/vdc
|
||||
|
||||
# Extend logical volume
|
||||
lvextend -L +50G /dev/vg_system/lv_var
|
||||
resize2fs /dev/vg_system/lv_var # ext4
|
||||
# or
|
||||
xfs_growfs /var # xfs
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## High Availability & Disaster Recovery
|
||||
|
||||
### Current State
|
||||
|
||||
**Single Points of Failure**:
|
||||
- Ansible control node (manual failover)
|
||||
- Individual hypervisors (VM migration required)
|
||||
- No automated failover
|
||||
|
||||
**Mitigation**:
|
||||
- Regular backups (VM snapshots)
|
||||
- Documentation for rebuild
|
||||
- Idempotent playbooks for re-deployment
|
||||
|
||||
### Future Enhancements (Planned)
|
||||
|
||||
**High Availability**:
|
||||
- Multiple Ansible control nodes (Ansible Tower/AWX)
|
||||
- Hypervisor clustering (Proxmox cluster)
|
||||
- Load-balanced application tiers
|
||||
- Database replication (PostgreSQL streaming)
|
||||
|
||||
**Disaster Recovery**:
|
||||
- Automated backup solution
|
||||
- Off-site backup replication
|
||||
- DR site with regular testing
|
||||
- Documented RTO/RPO objectives
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
### Ansible Execution Optimization
|
||||
|
||||
- **Fact Caching**: Reduces gather time
|
||||
- **Parallelism**: Increase forks for concurrent execution
|
||||
- **Pipelining**: Reduces SSH overhead
|
||||
- **Strategy Plugins**: Use `free` strategy when tasks are independent
|
||||
|
||||
### VM Performance Tuning
|
||||
|
||||
- **CPU Pinning**: For latency-sensitive applications
|
||||
- **NUMA Awareness**: Optimize memory access
|
||||
- **virtio Drivers**: Use paravirtualized devices
|
||||
- **Disk I/O**: Use virtio-scsi with native AIO
|
||||
|
||||
### Network Performance
|
||||
|
||||
- **SR-IOV**: For high-throughput networking
|
||||
- **Bridge Offloading**: Reduce CPU overhead
|
||||
- **MTU Optimization**: Jumbo frames where supported
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Cost Optimization
|
||||
|
||||
### Resource Efficiency
|
||||
|
||||
- **Right-Sizing**: Match VM resources to actual needs

# Security Model
|
||||
|
||||
## Security Architecture Overview
|
||||
|
||||
This document describes the security architecture, controls, and practices implemented across the Ansible-managed infrastructure.
|
||||
|
||||
## Security Principles
|
||||
|
||||
### Defense in Depth
|
||||
Multiple layers of security controls protect infrastructure:
|
||||
1. **Network Security**: Firewalls, network segmentation
|
||||
2. **Access Control**: SSH keys, least privilege, MFA (planned)
|
||||
3. **System Hardening**: SELinux/AppArmor, secure configurations
|
||||
4. **Patch Management**: Automatic security updates
|
||||
5. **Audit & Logging**: Comprehensive activity tracking
|
||||
6. **Encryption**: Data at rest and in transit
|
||||
|
||||
### Least Privilege
|
||||
- Service accounts with minimal required permissions
|
||||
- No root SSH access
|
||||
- Sudo logging enabled
|
||||
- Regular access reviews
|
||||
|
||||
### Security by Default
|
||||
- SSH password authentication disabled
|
||||
- Firewall enabled by default
|
||||
- SELinux/AppArmor enforcing mode
|
||||
- Automatic security updates enabled
|
||||
- Audit daemon (auditd) active
|
||||
|
||||
## Access Control
|
||||
|
||||
### Authentication
|
||||
|
||||
**SSH Key-Based Authentication**:
|
||||
- RSA 4096-bit or Ed25519 keys
|
||||
- No password-based SSH login
|
||||
- Key rotation every 90-180 days
|
||||
- Root login disabled
|
||||
|
||||
**Service Accounts**:
|
||||
- `ansible` user on all managed systems
|
||||
- Passwordless sudo with logging
|
||||
- SSH public keys pre-deployed
|
||||
- No interactive shell access
|
||||
|
||||
### Authorization
|
||||
|
||||
**Sudo Configuration** (`/etc/sudoers.d/ansible`):
|
||||
```
|
||||
ansible ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
|
||||
Defaults:ansible !requiretty
|
||||
Defaults:ansible log_output
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Future Enhancements**:
|
||||
- RBAC via Ansible Tower/AWX
|
||||
- Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
|
||||
- Privileged access management (PAM)
|
||||
|
||||
## Network Security
|
||||
|
||||
### Firewall Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
**Debian/Ubuntu (UFW)**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Default policies
|
||||
ufw default deny incoming
|
||||
ufw default allow outgoing
|
||||
|
||||
# Allow SSH
|
||||
ufw allow 22/tcp
|
||||
|
||||
# Application-specific rules added per VM
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**RHEL/AlmaLinux (firewalld)**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Default zone: drop
|
||||
firewall-cmd --set-default-zone=drop
|
||||
|
||||
# Allow SSH in public zone
|
||||
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-service=ssh --permanent
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Network Segmentation
|
||||
|
||||
| Zone | Purpose | Access Control |
|
||||
|------|---------|---------------|
|
||||
| Management | Ansible control, tooling | Restricted to ops team |
|
||||
| Hypervisor | KVM hosts | Ansible control node only |
|
||||
| Production VMs | Live services | Application-specific rules |
|
||||
| Staging VMs | Testing | More permissive for testing |
|
||||
| Development VMs | Dev/test | Minimal restrictions |
|
||||
|
||||
### SSH Hardening
|
||||
|
||||
**Configuration** (`/etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/99-security.conf`):
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
PermitRootLogin no
|
||||
PasswordAuthentication no
|
||||
PubkeyAuthentication yes
|
||||
GSSAPIAuthentication no # Explicitly disabled per CLAUDE.md
|
||||
MaxAuthTries 3
|
||||
ClientAliveInterval 300
|
||||
ClientAliveCountMax 2
|
||||
X11Forwarding no
|
||||
Protocol 2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## System Hardening
|
||||
|
||||
### Mandatory Access Control
|
||||
|
||||
**RHEL Family (SELinux)**:
|
||||
- Mode: `enforcing`
|
||||
- Policy: `targeted`
|
||||
- Verification: `getenforce`
|
||||
- No setenforce 0 in production
|
||||
|
||||
**Debian Family (AppArmor)**:
|
||||
- Status: `enabled`
|
||||
- Mode: `enforce`
|
||||
- Profiles: All default profiles active
|
||||
|
||||
### File System Security
|
||||
|
||||
**LVM Mount Options** (CLAUDE.md compliant):
|
||||
- `/tmp`: mounted with `noexec,nosuid,nodev`
|
||||
- `/var/tmp`: mounted with `noexec,nosuid,nodev`
|
||||
- Separate partitions for `/var`, `/var/log`, `/var/log/audit`
|
||||
|
||||
### Kernel Hardening
|
||||
|
||||
**sysctl parameters** (`/etc/sysctl.d/99-security.conf`):
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
# Network security
|
||||
net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 1
|
||||
net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1
|
||||
net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts = 1
|
||||
net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_source_route = 0
|
||||
net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_source_route = 0
|
||||
net.ipv4.conf.all.send_redirects = 0
|
||||
net.ipv4.conf.default.send_redirects = 0
|
||||
|
||||
# Security hardening
|
||||
kernel.dmesg_restrict = 1
|
||||
kernel.kptr_restrict = 2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Patch Management
|
||||
|
||||
### Automatic Security Updates
|
||||
|
||||
**Debian/Ubuntu (unattended-upgrades)**:
|
||||
- Security updates: Automatically installed
|
||||
- Reboot: Manual (not automatic)
|
||||
- Notifications: Email on errors
|
||||
|
||||
**RHEL/AlmaLinux (dnf-automatic)**:
|
||||
- Security updates: Automatically applied
|
||||
- Reboot: Manual (not automatic)
|
||||
- Logging: All actions logged
|
||||
|
||||
### Update Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
| Environment | Update Schedule | Testing | Rollback Plan |
|
||||
|-------------|----------------|---------|---------------|
|
||||
| Development | Immediate | Minimal | Redeploy if issues |
|
||||
| Staging | Weekly | Full regression | Snapshot restore |
|
||||
| Production | Monthly (security: weekly) | Comprehensive | Snapshot + DR plan |
|
||||
|
||||
## Secrets Management
|
||||
|
||||
### Current: Ansible Vault
|
||||
|
||||
**Encrypted Content**:
|
||||
- SSH private keys
|
||||
- Service account passwords
|
||||
- API tokens
|
||||
- Database credentials
|
||||
|
||||
**Location**: `./secrets` directory (private git repository)
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Rotation**: Every 90 days
|
||||
|
||||
### Future: External Secrets Manager
|
||||
|
||||
**Planned Integration**:
|
||||
- HashiCorp Vault
|
||||
- AWS Secrets Manager
|
||||
- Azure Key Vault
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefits**:
|
||||
- Centralized secrets management
|
||||
- Dynamic secret generation
|
||||
- Audit trail for secret access
|
||||
- Automated rotation
|
||||
|
||||
## Audit & Logging
|
||||
|
||||
### Audit Daemon (auditd)
|
||||
|
||||
**Enabled on All Systems**:
|
||||
- Monitors privileged operations
|
||||
- Logs file access events
|
||||
- Tracks authentication attempts
|
||||
- Immutable log files
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Rules**:
|
||||
- Monitor `/etc/sudoers` changes
|
||||
- Track user account modifications
|
||||
- Log privileged command execution
|
||||
- Monitor sensitive file access
|
||||
|
||||
### Log Management
|
||||
|
||||
**Local Logging**:
|
||||
- `/var/log/audit/audit.log` (auditd)
|
||||
- `/var/log/auth.log` (authentication - Debian)
|
||||
- `/var/log/secure` (authentication - RHEL)
|
||||
- `journalctl` (systemd)
|
||||
|
||||
**Retention**: 30 days local
|
||||
|
||||
**Future**: Centralized logging (ELK, Graylog, or Loki)
|
||||
|
||||
### Ansible Execution Logging
|
||||
|
||||
All Ansible playbook executions are logged:
|
||||
- Command executed
|
||||
- User who executed
|
||||
- Target hosts
|
||||
- Timestamp
|
||||
- Results and changes
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
### Firewall Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
**Debian/Ubuntu (UFW)**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Default policies
|
||||
ufw default deny incoming
|
||||
ufw default allow outgoing
|
||||
|
||||
# Allow SSH
|
||||
ufw allow 22/tcp
|
||||
|
||||
# Enable
|
||||
ufw --force enable
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**RHEL/AlmaLinux (firewalld)**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Default zone: drop
|
||||
firewall-cmd --set-default-zone=drop
|
||||
|
||||
# Allow SSH in public zone
|
||||
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-service=ssh --permanent
|
||||
|
||||
# Reload
|
||||
firewall-cmd --reload
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### SELinux/AppArmor
|
||||
|
||||
**RHEL Family (SELinux)**:
|
||||
- Mode: `enforcing`
|
||||
- Policy: `targeted`
|
||||
- Status check: `getenforce`
|
||||
- Troubleshooting: `ausearch -m avc -ts recent`
|
||||
|
||||
**Debian Family (AppArmor)**:
|
||||
- Status: `enabled`
|
||||
- Mode: `enforce`
|
||||
- Status check: `aa-status`
|
||||
- Profiles: All default profiles enabled
|
||||
|
||||
### Automatic Updates Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
**Debian/Ubuntu (unattended-upgrades)**:
|
||||
```conf
|
||||
# /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades
|
||||
Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins {
|
||||
"${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-security";
|
||||
};
|
||||
Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot "false";
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**RHEL/AlmaLinux (dnf-automatic)**:
|
||||
```conf
|
||||
# /etc/dnf/automatic.conf
|
||||
[commands]
|
||||
upgrade_type = security
|
||||
apply_updates = yes
|
||||
reboot = never
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
### Execution Time
|
||||
|
||||
Typical deployment timeline:
|
||||
- **Pre-flight checks**: 5-10 seconds
|
||||
- **Package installation**: 10-30 seconds (first run only)
|
||||
- **Cloud image download**: 30-120 seconds (first run only, cached thereafter)
|
||||
- **VM deployment**: 30-60 seconds
|
||||
- **Cloud-init first boot**: 60-180 seconds
|
||||
- **LVM configuration**: 30-60 seconds
|
||||
- **Total**: 3-7 minutes per VM
|
||||
|
||||
Factors affecting performance:
|
||||
- Internet connection speed (image download)
|
||||
- Hypervisor disk I/O (VM creation)
|
||||
- VM boot time (distribution-dependent)
|
||||
- Cloud-init package installation count
|
||||
|
||||
### Optimization Strategies
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Pre-cache cloud images**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm,download
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Parallel deployment**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm -f 5
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Skip slow operations**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm --skip-tags install,download
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Disable LVM for faster provisioning**:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
deploy_linux_vm_use_lvm: false
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Resource Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
**Hypervisor Requirements**:
|
||||
- CPU: 2+ cores per VM recommended
|
||||
- RAM: 2GB base + (VM memory allocation * concurrent VMs)
|
||||
- Disk: 100GB+ available in `/var/lib/libvirt/images`
|
||||
- Network: 10 Mbps+ for cloud image downloads
|
||||
|
||||
**Control Node Requirements**:
|
||||
- Minimal (Ansible controller overhead)
|
||||
- Disk: <1MB per VM for cloud-init config storage
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting Guide
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Issues
|
||||
|
||||
#### Issue: Cloud image download fails
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms**: Task fails during image download
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
- No internet connectivity from hypervisor
|
||||
- Image URL changed or unavailable
|
||||
- Insufficient disk space
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Test internet connectivity
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "ping -c 3 8.8.8.8"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check disk space
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "df -h /var/lib/libvirt/images"
|
||||
|
||||
# Manual download and verification
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "wget -O /tmp/test.img <cloud_image_url>"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check image URL validity
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "curl -I <cloud_image_url>"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Issue: VM fails to start
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms**: VM shows as "shut off" immediately after creation
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
- Insufficient resources on hypervisor
|
||||
- Cloud-init ISO creation failed
|
||||
- libvirt permission issues
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check VM status and errors
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "virsh list --all"
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "virsh start <vm_name>"
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "journalctl -u libvirtd -n 50"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check libvirt logs
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "tail -50 /var/log/libvirt/qemu/<vm_name>.log"
|
||||
|
||||
# Verify cloud-init ISO exists
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "ls -lh /var/lib/libvirt/images/<vm_name>-cloud-init.iso"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check resource availability
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "free -h && df -h"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Issue: Cannot SSH to VM
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms**: SSH connection refused or times out
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
- Cloud-init not completed
|
||||
- Firewall blocking SSH
|
||||
- Wrong IP address
|
||||
- SSH key mismatch
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Get VM IP address
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "virsh domifaddr <vm_name>"
|

|
||||
|
||||
#### Issue: LVM configuration fails
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms**: Post-deployment LVM tasks fail
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
- Second disk not attached
|
||||
- LVM packages not installed
|
||||
- Insufficient disk space
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check if second disk exists
|
||||
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "lsblk"
|
||||
|
||||
# Verify LVM packages
|
||||
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "which lvm"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check physical volumes
|
||||
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "sudo pvs"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check volume groups
|
||||
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "sudo vgs"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check logical volumes
|
||||
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "sudo lvs"
|
||||
|
||||
# Manually re-run LVM configuration
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm,lvm,post-deploy \
|
||||
-e "deploy_linux_vm_name=<vm_name>"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Issue: Slow VM performance
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms**: VM is sluggish or unresponsive
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
- Overcommitted hypervisor resources
|
||||
- Disk I/O bottleneck
|
||||
- Memory swapping
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check hypervisor load
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "top -bn1 | head -20"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check VM resource allocation
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "virsh dominfo <vm_name>"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check disk I/O
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "iostat -x 1 5"
|
||||
|
||||
# Inside VM: check memory
|
||||
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "free -h"
|
||||
|
||||
# Inside VM: check disk I/O
|
||||
ssh ansible@<VM_IP> "iostat -x 1 5"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Debug Mode
|
||||
|
||||
Run with increased verbosity:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Standard verbose
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm -v
|
||||
|
||||
# More verbose (connections)
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm -vv
|
||||
|
||||
# Very verbose (debugging)
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm -vvv
|
||||
|
||||
# Extreme verbose (all data)
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm -vvvv
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Log Locations

|
||||
|
||||
## Maintenance
|
||||
|
||||
### Regular Updates
|
||||
|
||||
**Quarterly Tasks**:
|
||||
- Review cloud image URLs for updates
|
||||
- Test role with latest distribution versions
|
||||
- Update documentation for new features
|
||||
- Review security controls and compliance
|
||||
|
||||
**Testing Checklist**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Syntax validation
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml --syntax-check
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Dry-run
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm --check
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Deploy test VM
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm \
|
||||
-e "deploy_linux_vm_name=test-vm-$(date +%s)"
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Verify deployment
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "virsh list --all"
|
||||
|
||||
# 5. SSH connectivity
|
||||
ssh -J hypervisor ansible@<test_vm_ip> "hostname"
|
||||
|
||||
# 6. Security validation
|
||||
ssh ansible@<test_vm_ip> "sudo getenforce" # RHEL
|
||||
ssh ansible@<test_vm_ip> "sudo aa-status" # Debian
|
||||
|
||||
# 7. Cleanup
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "virsh destroy test-vm-*"
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "virsh undefine test-vm-* --remove-all-storage"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
Track deployment metrics:
|
||||
- Deployment success rate
|
||||
- Average deployment time
|
||||
- Cloud-init failure rate
|
||||
- SSH connectivity success rate
|
||||
|
||||
### Backup Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
**VM Backups**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Create VM snapshot
|
||||
virsh snapshot-create-as <vm_name> backup-$(date +%Y%m%d) "Pre-update backup"
|
||||
|
||||
# Export VM configuration
|
||||
virsh dumpxml <vm_name> > <vm_name>.xml
|
||||
|
||||
# Backup VM disk
|
||||
qemu-img convert -O qcow2 /var/lib/libvirt/images/<vm_name>.qcow2 \
|
||||
/backup/<vm_name>-$(date +%Y%m%d).qcow2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Advanced Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom Cloud-Init Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Override default cloud-init with custom configuration:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
deploy_linux_vm_cloud_init_user_data: |
|
||||
#cloud-config
|
||||
package_update: true
|
||||
package_upgrade: true
|
||||
packages:
|
||||
- custom-package
|
||||
- another-package
|
||||
runcmd:
|
||||
- [sh, -c, "echo 'Custom configuration' > /root/custom.txt"]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Integration with Terraform
|
||||
|
||||
Use Ansible role within Terraform provisioner:
|
||||
|
||||
```hcl
|
||||
resource "null_resource" "deploy_vm" {
|
||||
provisioner "local-exec" {
|
||||
command = <<EOT
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm \
|
||||
-e "deploy_linux_vm_name=${var.vm_name}" \
|
||||
-e "deploy_linux_vm_os_distribution=${var.distro}"
|
||||
EOT
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### CI/CD Integration
|
||||
|
||||
Jenkins pipeline example:
|
||||
|
||||
```groovy
|
||||
pipeline {
|
||||
agent any
|
||||
stages {
|
||||
stage('Deploy VM') {
|
||||
steps {
|
||||
ansiblePlaybook(
|
||||
playbook: 'site.yml',
|
||||
tags: 'deploy_linux_vm',
|
||||
extraVars: [
|
||||
deploy_linux_vm_name: "${env.VM_NAME}",
|
||||
deploy_linux_vm_os_distribution: "${env.DISTRO}"
|
||||
]
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}

}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Use Cases
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Infrastructure Audit
|
||||
|
||||
Generate a complete inventory of all infrastructure:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Gather information from all hosts
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/gather_system_info.yml
|
||||
|
||||
# Generate CSV report
|
||||
jq -r '["FQDN","OS","CPU","Memory","Disk","Hypervisor"],
|
||||
([.host_info.fqdn, .system.distribution, .cpu.model,
|
||||
(.memory.total_mb|tostring), (.disk.physical_disks|length|tostring),
|
||||
(.hypervisor.is_hypervisor|tostring)]) | @csv' \
|
||||
stats/machines/*/system_info.json > infrastructure_inventory.csv
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. License Compliance
|
||||
|
||||
Track CPU cores for license management:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Count total CPU cores across infrastructure
|
||||
jq -s 'map(.cpu.count.total_cores | tonumber) | add' \
|
||||
stats/machines/*/system_info.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Capacity Planning
|
||||
|
||||
Identify hosts nearing resource limits:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Find hosts with >80% memory usage
|
||||
jq -r 'select(.memory.usage_percent > 80) |
|
||||
"\(.host_info.fqdn): \(.memory.usage_percent)%"' \
|
||||
stats/machines/*/system_info.json
|
||||
|
||||
# Find hosts with low disk space
|
||||
jq -r 'select(.disk.usage_human[] |
|
||||
contains("9[0-9]%") or contains("100%")) |
|
||||
.host_info.fqdn' \
|
||||
stats/machines/*/system_info.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Hypervisor Inventory
|
||||
|
||||
List all hypervisors and their VM counts:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# KVM/Libvirt hypervisors
|
||||
jq -r 'select(.hypervisor.kvm_libvirt.installed == true) |
|
||||
"\(.host_info.fqdn): \(.hypervisor.kvm_libvirt.running_vms) running, \(.hypervisor.kvm_libvirt.total_vms) total"' \
|
||||
stats/machines/*/system_info.json
|
||||
|
||||
# Proxmox hosts
|
||||
jq -r 'select(.hypervisor.proxmox.installed == true) |
|
||||
"\(.host_info.fqdn): \(.hypervisor.proxmox.version)"' \
|
||||
stats/machines/*/system_info.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Security Compliance
|
||||
|
||||
Verify SELinux/AppArmor status:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check SELinux enforcement
|
||||
jq -r 'select(.security.selinux != "Enforcing" and .security.selinux != "N/A") |
|
||||
"\(.host_info.fqdn): SELinux is \(.security.selinux)"' \
|
||||
stats/machines/*/system_info.json
|
||||
|
||||
# List CPU vulnerabilities
|
||||
jq -r '"\(.host_info.fqdn):", .cpu.vulnerabilities[]' \
|
||||
stats/machines/*/system_info.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
### Execution Time
|
||||
|
||||
Typical execution times per host:
|
||||
- **Minimal gathering** (CPU, memory only): 15-20 seconds
|
||||
- **Standard gathering** (all defaults): 30-45 seconds
|
||||
- **Comprehensive** (with raw outputs): 45-60 seconds
|
||||
|
||||
Factors affecting performance:
|
||||
- Number of network interfaces
|
||||
- Number of disk devices
|
||||
- Hypervisor API response time
|
||||
- SMART disk scanning (slowest component)
|
||||
|
||||
### Optimization Strategies
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Parallel execution**: Use `-f` flag to increase parallelism
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info -f 20
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Skip slow components**: Disable unnecessary gathering
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
system_info_gather_network: false # Skip if not needed
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Cache facts**: Enable fact caching in ansible.cfg
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
[defaults]
|
||||
fact_caching = jsonfile
|
||||
fact_caching_connection = /tmp/ansible_facts
|
||||
fact_caching_timeout = 3600
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Security Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
### Data Protection
|
||||
|
||||
- **Sensitive information**: Statistics include serial numbers, UUIDs, and network topology
|
||||
- **Access control**: Restrict read access to statistics directory
|
||||
- **Encryption**: Consider encrypting the statistics directory for sensitive environments
|
||||
- **Retention**: Implement rotation policy for timestamped backups
|
||||
|
||||
### Execution Security
|
||||
|
||||
- **Privilege escalation**: Role requires sudo/root for hardware information
|
||||
- **Audit logging**: All executions are logged via Ansible
|
||||
- **Read-only**: Role performs no modifications to managed systems
|
||||
- **No secrets**: Role does not collect or expose credentials
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting Guide
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Problems
|
||||
|
||||
#### Problem: "Package installation failed"
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms**: Role fails during install phase
|
||||
**Cause**: No internet access or repository issues
|
||||
**Solution**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Pre-install packages manually
|
||||
ansible all -m package -a "name=lshw,dmidecode,pciutils state=present" --become
|
||||
|
||||
# Or skip installation
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info --skip-tags install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Problem: "Statistics directory not created"
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms**: No output files generated
|
||||
**Cause**: Permission issues on control node
|
||||
**Solution**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check permissions
|
||||
mkdir -p ./stats/machines
|
||||
chmod 755 ./stats/machines
|
||||
|
||||
# Or specify writable directory
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -e "system_info_stats_base_dir=/tmp/stats"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Problem: "Invalid JSON output"
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms**: jq reports parsing errors
|
||||
**Cause**: Incomplete execution or disk full
|
||||
**Solution**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Validate JSON files
|
||||
for f in ./stats/machines/*/system_info.json; do
|
||||
jq empty "$f" 2>&1 || echo "Invalid: $f"
|
||||
done
|
||||
|
||||
# Re-run for failed hosts
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -l failed_host -t system_info
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Maintenance
|
||||
|
||||
### Regular Updates
|
||||
|
||||
- **Quarterly review**: Update role for new hypervisor versions
|
||||
- **OS compatibility**: Test with new OS releases
|
||||
- **Package updates**: Verify new package versions don't break collection
|
||||
- **Documentation**: Keep examples and use cases current
|
||||
|
||||
### Monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
Track role health metrics:
|
||||
- Execution success rate
|
||||
- Average execution time
|
||||
- Output file sizes
|
||||
- JSON validation failures
|
||||
|
||||
### Backup Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Daily backup of statistics
|
||||
0 3 * * * tar -czf /backup/ansible-stats-$(date +\%Y\%m\%d).tar.gz \
|
||||
/opt/ansible/stats/machines/
|
||||
|
||||
# Cleanup old backups (keep 30 days)
|
||||
0 4 * * * find /backup/ansible-stats-*.tar.gz -mtime +30 -delete
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Advanced Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom Filters
|
||||
|
||||
Create custom Ansible filters for data processing:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# filter_plugins/system_info_filters.py
|
||||
def format_memory(value_mb):
|
||||
"""Convert MB to human readable format"""
|
||||
if value_mb < 1024:
|
||||
return f"{value_mb} MB"
|
||||
elif value_mb < 1048576:
|
||||
return f"{value_mb/1024:.1f} GB"
|
||||
else:
|
||||
return f"{value_mb/1048576:.1f} TB"
|
||||
|
||||
class FilterModule(object):
|
||||
def filters(self):
|
||||
return {
|
||||
'format_memory': format_memory
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Dynamic Inventory Integration
|
||||
|
||||
Use collected data for dynamic grouping:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# inventory_plugins/system_info_inventory.py
|
||||
# Create dynamic groups based on collected information
|
||||
import json
|
||||
import glob
|
||||
|
||||
groups = {
|
||||
'hypervisors': [],
|
||||
'virtual_machines': [],
|
||||
'high_memory': [],
|
||||
'gpu_enabled': []
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
for stats_file in glob.glob('stats/machines/*/system_info.json'):
|
||||
with open(stats_file) as f:
|
||||
data = json.load(f)
|
||||
fqdn = data['host_info']['fqdn']
|
||||
|
||||
if data['hypervisor']['is_hypervisor']:
|
||||
groups['hypervisors'].append(fqdn)
|
||||
if data['hypervisor']['is_virtual']:
|
||||
groups['virtual_machines'].append(fqdn)
|
||||
if data['memory']['total_mb'] > 64000:
|
||||
groups['high_memory'].append(fqdn)
|
||||
if data['gpu']['detected']:
|
||||
groups['gpu_enabled'].append(fqdn)
|
||||
```
|

# Deployment Runbook
|
||||
|
||||
Standard operating procedure for deploying changes to infrastructure using Ansible.
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
This runbook covers the standard deployment process for configuration changes, application updates, and infrastructure modifications.
|
||||
|
||||
## Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Access to Ansible control node
|
||||
- [ ] Proper credentials and SSH keys
|
||||
- [ ] Vault password for target environment
|
||||
- [ ] Change approval (for production)
|
||||
- [ ] Backup completed (for production)
|
||||
|
||||
## Deployment Process
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Pre-Deployment Checks
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Verify Ansible version
|
||||
ansible --version
|
||||
|
||||
# Test inventory connectivity
|
||||
ansible all -i inventories/<environment> -m ping
|
||||
|
||||
# Verify vault access
|
||||
ansible-vault view inventories/<environment>/group_vars/all/vault.yml
|
||||
|
||||
# Run syntax check
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml --syntax-check
|
||||
|
||||
# Dry-run (check mode)
|
||||
ansible-playbook -i inventories/<environment> site.yml --check
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Staging Deployment
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Deploy to staging environment
|
||||
ansible-playbook -i inventories/staging site.yml
|
||||
|
||||
# Verify staging deployment
|
||||
ansible-playbook -i inventories/staging playbooks/security_audit.yml --tags verify
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Production Deployment
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Create pre-deployment backup
|
||||
ansible-playbook -i inventories/production playbooks/backup.yml
|
||||
|
||||
# Deploy to production (gradual rollout)
|
||||
ansible-playbook -i inventories/production site.yml \
|
||||
--extra-vars "maintenance_serial=25%"
|
||||
|
||||
# Verify production deployment
|
||||
ansible-playbook -i inventories/production playbooks/security_audit.yml --tags verify
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Post-Deployment Verification
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Verify all services running
|
||||
ansible production -m shell -a "systemctl status <critical-services>"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check application logs
|
||||
ansible production -m shell -a "tail -50 /var/log/application.log"
|
||||
|
||||
# Monitor system health
|
||||
ansible production -m shell -a "uptime && free -h && df -h"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Rollback Procedure
|
||||
|
||||
If deployment fails:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Restore from backup
|
||||
ansible-playbook -i inventories/production playbooks/disaster_recovery.yml \
|
||||
--limit affected_hosts \
|
||||
--extra-vars "dr_backup_date=<backup_date>"
|
||||
|
||||
# Verify rollback
|
||||
ansible-playbook -i inventories/production site.yml --check
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Emergency Stop
|
||||
|
||||
If critical issues detected:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Stop deployment immediately (Ctrl+C)
|
||||
# Assess damage
|
||||
ansible-playbook playbooks/security_audit.yml --tags assess
|
||||
|
||||
# Initiate rollback if needed

||||
Procedures for responding to security incidents and breaches.
|
||||
|
||||
## Incident Categories
|
||||
|
||||
| Category | Examples | Severity |
|
||||
|----------|----------|----------|
|
||||
| **Security Breach** | Unauthorized access, data exfiltration | Critical |
|
||||
| **Malware** | Ransomware, trojans, rootkits | Critical |
|
||||

||||
| **Suspicious Activity** | Unusual logins, port scans | Low |
|
||||
|
||||
## Initial Response (First 15 Minutes)
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Detection and Verification
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check for suspicious activity
|
||||
ansible all -m shell -a "last -a | head -20" # Recent logins
|
||||
ansible all -m shell -a "who" # Current users
|
||||
ansible all -m shell -a "ss -tulpn | grep LISTEN" # Listening ports
|
||||
|
||||
# Check failed login attempts
|
||||
ansible all -m shell -a "grep 'Failed password' /var/log/auth.log | tail -50"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check for privilege escalation
|
||||
ansible all -m shell -a "grep sudo /var/log/auth.log | tail -20"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Immediate Containment
|
||||
|
||||
**If breach confirmed:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Block suspicious IP (replace with actual IP)
|
||||
ansible all -m shell -a "ufw deny from <suspicious_ip>"
|
||||
|
||||
# Disable compromised user account
|
||||
ansible all -m shell -a "usermod -L <username>"
|
||||
|
||||
# Kill suspicious processes
|
||||
ansible all -m shell -a "pkill -9 <process_name>"
|
||||
|
||||
# Isolate compromised host
|
||||
ansible compromised_host -m shell -a "iptables -P INPUT DROP; iptables -P OUTPUT DROP"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Notification

||||
|
||||
**Notify (within 15 minutes):**
|
||||
- Security team
|
||||
- Infrastructure team lead
|
||||
- Management (critical incidents)
|
||||
- Legal/compliance (data breaches)
|
||||
|
||||
**Template:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
SECURITY INCIDENT [CRITICAL/HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW]
|
||||
|
||||
Incident ID: SEC-YYYYMMDD-NNN
|
||||
Detected: [Timestamp]
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Investigation Phase (15-60 Minutes)
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Evidence Collection
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Capture system state
|
||||
ansible compromised_host -m shell -a "ps aux > /tmp/processes_$(date +%s).txt"
|
||||
ansible compromised_host -m shell -a "netstat -tulpn > /tmp/network_$(date +%s).txt"
|
||||
ansible compromised_host -m shell -a "df -h > /tmp/disk_$(date +%s).txt"
|
||||
|
||||
# Collect logs
|
||||
ansible compromised_host -m shell -a "tar czf /tmp/logs_$(date +%s).tar.gz /var/log/"
|
||||
|
||||
# Copy evidence to secure location
|
||||
ansible compromised_host -m fetch \
|
||||
-a "src=/tmp/logs_*.tar.gz dest=./evidence/ flat=yes"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Forensic Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check for unauthorized files
|
||||
ansible compromised_host -m shell -a "find / -type f -mtime -1 2>/dev/null | head -100"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check for SUID files
|
||||
ansible compromised_host -m shell -a "find / -perm -4000 -type f 2>/dev/null"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check cron jobs
|
||||
ansible compromised_host -m shell -a "cat /etc/crontab; ls -la /etc/cron.*/"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check startup services
|
||||
ansible compromised_host -m shell -a "systemctl list-unit-files | grep enabled"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check network connections
|
||||
ansible compromised_host -m shell -a "ss -tnp"
|
||||
|
||||
# AIDE integrity check (if configured)
|
||||
ansible compromised_host -m shell -a "aide --check"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Root Cause Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
Determine:
|
||||
- Entry point
|
||||
- Attack vector
|
||||
- Extent of compromise
|
||||
- Data accessed/exfiltrated
|
||||
- Duration of access
|
||||
|
||||
## Eradication Phase (1-4 Hours)
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Remove Threat
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Remove malicious files
|
||||
ansible compromised_host -m file -a "path=<malicious_file> state=absent"
|
||||
|
||||
# Kill malicious processes
|
||||
ansible compromised_host -m shell -a "pkill -9 <malicious_process>"
|
||||
|
||||
# Remove unauthorized users
|
||||
ansible compromised_host -m user -a "name=<unauthorized_user> state=absent remove=yes"
|
||||
|
||||
# Remove backdoors
|
||||
ansible compromised_host -m shell -a "rm -f /etc/cron.d/<backdoor>"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Patch Vulnerabilities
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Apply security updates
|
||||
ansible-playbook -i inventories/<environment> playbooks/maintenance.yml \
|
||||
--limit compromised_host \
|
||||
--tags updates
|
||||
|
||||
# Harden configuration
|
||||
ansible-playbook -i inventories/<environment> playbooks/security_audit.yml \
|
||||
--limit compromised_host
|
||||
```
|

-a "rm -f /home/*/.ssh/authorized_keys; echo '<new_key>' > /home/ansible/.ssh/authorized_keys"
|
||||
|
||||
# Rotate passwords (use vault)
|
||||
ansible-playbook -i inventories/<environment> site.yml \
|
||||
--limit compromised_host \
|
||||
--tags user_management \
|
||||
--ask-vault-pass
|
||||
|

apt-get install libopenscap8 # Debian/Ubuntu
|
||||
dnf install openscap-scanner # RHEL/AlmaLinux
|
||||
|
||||
# Run CIS benchmark scan
|
||||
oscap xccdf eval \
|
||||
--profile xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_profile_cis \
|
||||
--results results.xml \
|
||||
--report report.html \
|
||||
/usr/share/xml/scap/ssg/content/ssg-*.xml
|

# Ansible Vault Management Guide
|
||||
|
||||
This document describes how to manage encrypted secrets using Ansible Vault in this infrastructure.
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Ansible Vault is used to encrypt sensitive data such as passwords, API tokens, and private keys. All vault files are stored in `inventories/<environment>/group_vars/all/vault.yml`.

|
||||
- [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting)
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Create vault file from example
|
||||
cp inventories/production/group_vars/all/vault.yml.example \
|
||||
inventories/production/group_vars/all/vault.yml
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Edit and fill in secrets
|
||||
vi inventories/production/group_vars/all/vault.yml
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Encrypt the vault file
|
||||
ansible-vault encrypt inventories/production/group_vars/all/vault.yml
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Run playbook with vault password
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml --ask-vault-pass
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Vault File Locations
|
||||
|
||||
Vault files are organized by environment:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
inventories/
|
||||
├── production/
|
||||
│ └── group_vars/
|
||||
│ └── all/
|
||||
│ ├── vault.yml.example # Template
|
||||
│ └── vault.yml # Encrypted (gitignored)
|
||||
├── staging/
|
||||
│ └── group_vars/
|
||||
│ └── all/
|
||||
│ ├── vault.yml.example
|
||||
│ └── vault.yml
|
||||
└── development/
|
||||
└── group_vars/
|
||||
└── all/
|
||||
├── vault.yml.example
|
||||
└── vault.yml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Important**: `vault.yml` files should be added to `.gitignore` to prevent accidental commits.
|
||||
|
||||
## Creating Vault Files
|
||||
|
||||
### From Example Template
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Copy example template
|
||||
cp inventories/production/group_vars/all/vault.yml.example \
|
||||
inventories/production/group_vars/all/vault.yml
|
||||
|
||||
# Edit and replace CHANGEME placeholders
|
||||
vi inventories/production/group_vars/all/vault.yml
|
||||
|
||||
# Encrypt the file
|
||||
ansible-vault encrypt inventories/production/group_vars/all/vault.yml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Create New Vault File
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Create and encrypt in one step
|
||||
ansible-vault create inventories/production/group_vars/all/vault.yml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This opens your editor to add vault contents, then automatically encrypts on save.
|
||||
|
||||
## Encrypting and Decrypting
|
||||
|
||||
### Encrypt a File
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ansible-vault encrypt inventories/production/group_vars/all/vault.yml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You'll be prompted to create a vault password.
|
||||
|
||||
### Decrypt a File
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Decrypt to view/edit (dangerous - creates plaintext file)
|
||||
ansible-vault decrypt inventories/production/group_vars/all/vault.yml
|
||||
|
||||
# View without decrypting
|
||||
ansible-vault view inventories/production/group_vars/all/vault.yml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Warning**: Decrypting a file leaves it in plaintext. Always re-encrypt after editing.
|
||||
|
||||
### Encrypt Multiple Files
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ansible-vault encrypt inventories/*/group_vars/all/vault.yml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Editing Vault Files
|
||||
|
||||
### Edit Encrypted File
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Edit encrypted file directly (recommended)
|
||||
ansible-vault edit inventories/production/group_vars/all/vault.yml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This decrypts the file in memory, opens your editor, and re-encrypts on save.
|
||||
|
||||
### Change Vault Password
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ansible-vault rekey inventories/production/group_vars/all/vault.yml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You'll be prompted for the old password, then the new password.
|
||||
|
||||
## Using Vault Variables
|
||||
|
||||
### In Playbooks
|
||||
|
||||
Reference vault variables like normal variables:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
---
|
||||
- name: Configure database
|
||||
hosts: databases
|
||||
tasks:
|
||||
- name: Set MySQL root password
|
||||
mysql_user:
|
||||
name: root
|
||||
password: "{{ vault_mysql_root_password }}"
|
||||
host: localhost
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### In Templates
|
||||
|
||||
```jinja2
|
||||
# /etc/my.cnf
|
||||
[client]
|
||||
user = root
|
||||
password = {{ vault_mysql_root_password }}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### In Role Defaults
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# roles/mysql/defaults/main.yml
|
||||
---
|
||||
mysql_root_password: "{{ vault_mysql_root_password }}"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Vault Password Management
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1: Interactive Password Prompt (Most Secure)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml --ask-vault-pass
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: Password File
|
||||
|
||||
Create a password file:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Create password file (gitignored)
|
||||
echo "YourVaultPassword123!" > .vault_pass
|
||||
chmod 600 .vault_pass
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Add to `.gitignore`:
|
||||
```
|
||||
.vault_pass
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Update `ansible.cfg`:
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
[defaults]
|
||||
vault_password_file = .vault_pass
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Run playbooks without prompt:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 3: Environment Variable
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export ANSIBLE_VAULT_PASSWORD_FILE=.vault_pass
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 4: Script-Based Password (Advanced)
|
||||
|
||||
Create a script that retrieves the password from a secure source:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
#!/bin/bash
|
||||
# vault-password.sh
|
||||
# Retrieve password from AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault, etc.
|
||||
aws secretsmanager get-secret-value \
|
||||
--secret-id ansible-vault-password \
|
||||
--query SecretString \
|
||||
--output text
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Make it executable:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
chmod +x vault-password.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Use in `ansible.cfg`:
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
[defaults]
|
||||
vault_password_file = ./vault-password.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
### Security
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Never commit unencrypted vault files** to version control
|
||||
2. **Use different vault passwords** for each environment
|
||||
3. **Rotate vault passwords** every 90 days
|
||||
4. **Restrict access** to vault password files (`chmod 600`)
|
||||
5. **Use strong passwords** (minimum 20 characters, mixed case, numbers, symbols)
|
||||
6. **Store production passwords** in a secure password manager (1Password, LastPass, etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
### Organization
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Prefix vault variables** with `vault_` for clarity:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
vault_mysql_root_password: "secret123"
|
||||
vault_api_token: "token456"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Use vault variables in role defaults**:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# roles/mysql/defaults/main.yml
|
||||
mysql_root_password: "{{ vault_mysql_root_password }}"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Document all vault variables** in `vault.yml.example`
|
||||
|
||||
4. **One vault file per environment** for easier management
|
||||
|
||||
### Git Management
|
||||
|
||||
Add to `.gitignore`:
|
||||
```
|
||||
# Vault passwords
|
||||
.vault_pass
|
||||
vault-password.sh
|
||||
|
||||
# Unencrypted vault files
|
||||
**/vault.yml
|
||||
!**/vault.yml.example
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Verify vault files are encrypted before committing:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check if file is encrypted
|
||||
head -1 inventories/production/group_vars/all/vault.yml
|
||||
# Should output: $ANSIBLE_VAULT;1.1;AES256
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Multiple Vault Passwords
|
||||
|
||||
For environments with different vault passwords:
|
||||
|
||||
### Using Vault IDs
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Encrypt with vault ID
|
||||
ansible-vault encrypt \
|
||||
--vault-id production@prompt \
|
||||
inventories/production/group_vars/all/vault.yml
|
||||
|
||||
ansible-vault encrypt \
|
||||
--vault-id staging@prompt \
|
||||
inventories/staging/group_vars/all/vault.yml
|
||||
|
||||
# Run playbook with multiple vault IDs
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml \
|
||||
--vault-id production@.vault_pass_production \
|
||||
--vault-id staging@.vault_pass_staging
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Vault Variables
|
||||
|
||||
### User Credentials
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
vault_ansible_user_ssh_key: "ssh-rsa AAAA..."
|
||||
vault_root_password: "password"
|
||||
vault_ansible_become_password: "password"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### API Tokens
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
vault_aws_access_key_id: "AKIA..."
|
||||
vault_aws_secret_access_key: "secret"
|
||||
vault_netbox_api_token: "token"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Database Credentials
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
vault_mysql_root_password: "password"
|
||||
vault_postgresql_postgres_password: "password"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Application Secrets
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
vault_app_secret_key: "secret_key"
|
||||
vault_app_api_key: "api_key"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Wrong Vault Password
|
||||
|
||||
**Error**: `Decryption failed (no vault secrets were found that could decrypt)`
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution**: Verify you're using the correct vault password for that environment.
|
||||
|
||||
### Vault File Not Found
|
||||
|
||||
**Error**: `ERROR! Attempting to decrypt but no vault secrets found`
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution**: Create the vault file or check the path is correct.
|
||||
|
||||
### Permission Denied
|
||||
|
||||
**Error**: `Permission denied: 'vault.yml'`
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution**: Check file permissions:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ls -la inventories/production/group_vars/all/vault.yml
|
||||
chmod 600 inventories/production/group_vars/all/vault.yml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Forgot Vault Password
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution**: Unfortunately, there's no way to recover a forgotten vault password. You'll need to:
|
||||
1. Re-create the vault file from scratch
|
||||
2. Re-enter all secrets
|
||||
3. Re-encrypt with a new password
|
||||
|
||||
**Prevention**: Store vault passwords in a secure password manager.
|
||||
|
||||
### Check Vault File Integrity
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Verify file can be decrypted
|
||||
ansible-vault view inventories/production/group_vars/all/vault.yml
|
||||
|
||||
# Check encryption format
|
||||
file inventories/production/group_vars/all/vault.yml
|
||||
# Should output: ASCII text (encrypted vault file)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Emergency Procedures
|
||||
|
||||
### Compromised Vault Password
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Immediately change the vault password**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ansible-vault rekey inventories/production/group_vars/all/vault.yml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Rotate all secrets** stored in the vault
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Audit access logs** to determine scope of compromise
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Update vault password** in all secure storage locations
|
||||
|
||||
### Lost Access to Production Vault
|
||||
|
||||
1. Use backup vault password from secure password manager
|
||||
2. If no backup exists, rotate all production credentials
|
||||
3. Create new vault file with new credentials
|
||||
4. Update all systems with new credentials

## Ansible Execution Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: "Failed to connect to the host via SSH"
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms**: Cannot connect to target hosts
|
||||
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
- SSH key not authorized
|
||||
- Wrong SSH user
|
||||
- Host unreachable
|
||||
- SSH service not running
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Test connectivity
|
||||
ping <target_host>
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Test SSH manually
|
||||
ssh ansible@<target_host>
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Verify SSH service on target
|
||||
ansible <target_host> -m shell -a "systemctl status sshd" -u root --ask-pass
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Check SSH key is authorized
|
||||
ansible <target_host> -m authorized_key \
|
||||
-a "user=ansible key='{{ lookup('file', '~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub') }}' state=present" \
|
||||
-u root --ask-pass
|
||||
|
||||
# 5. Verify ansible user exists
|
||||
ansible <target_host> -m shell -a "id ansible" -u root --ask-pass
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: "Permission denied" or "sudo: a password is required"
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms**: Tasks fail due to insufficient permissions
|
||||
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
- ansible user lacks sudo permissions
|
||||
- `become: yes` not specified
|
||||
- Incorrect sudo configuration
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Verify sudo permissions
|
||||
ssh ansible@<target_host> "sudo -l"
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Check sudoers configuration
|
||||
ssh ansible@<target_host> "sudo cat /etc/sudoers.d/ansible"
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Fix sudoers if needed (as root)
|
||||
ssh root@<target_host> "cat > /etc/sudoers.d/ansible <<'EOF'
|
||||
ansible ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
|
||||
Defaults:ansible !requiretty
|
||||
EOF"
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Ensure become is set in playbook
|
||||
# Add to playbook:
|
||||
# become: yes
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: "Module not found" or "No module named..."
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms**: Python module import errors
|
||||
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
- Python dependencies missing on control node or target
|
||||
- Wrong Python interpreter
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# On control node
|
||||
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
|
||||
|
||||
# On target hosts
|
||||
ansible all -m package -a "name=python3,python3-pip state=present" --become
|
||||
|
||||
# Specify Python interpreter
|
||||
ansible all -m setup -a "filter=ansible_python_version" \
|
||||
-e "ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## SSH and Connectivity
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: "UNREACHABLE!" for all hosts
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms**: Cannot reach any hosts in inventory
|
||||
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
- Network connectivity issues
|
||||
- DNS resolution failures
|
||||
- Firewall blocking SSH
|
||||
- Incorrect inventory configuration
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Verify inventory syntax
|
||||
ansible-inventory --list -i inventories/production
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Test DNS resolution
|
||||
ansible all -m shell -a "hostname -f" -i inventories/production
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Test network connectivity
|
||||
ansible all -m ping -i inventories/production
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Check SSH port accessibility
|
||||
nmap -p 22 <target_host>
|
||||
|
||||
# 5. Verify inventory file paths
|
||||
ansible all --list-hosts -i inventories/production
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: SSH connection hangs or times out
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms**: SSH attempts timeout or hang indefinitely
|
||||
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
- Network latency
|
||||
- SSH idle timeout
|
||||
- Firewall dropping connections
|
||||
- MTU issues
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Increase SSH timeout in ansible.cfg
|
||||
[defaults]
|
||||
timeout = 60
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Enable SSH keepalive
|
||||
[ssh_connection]
|
||||
ssh_args = -o ServerAliveInterval=60 -o ServerAliveCountMax=3

## VM Deployment Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: VM fails to start after creation
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms**: VM shows "shut off" immediately after deployment
|
||||
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
- Insufficient resources on hypervisor
|
||||
- Cloud-init ISO creation failed
|
||||
- Invalid VM configuration
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Check hypervisor resources
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "free -h && df -h /var/lib/libvirt/images"
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Check VM definition
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "virsh dumpxml <vm_name>"
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. View libvirt logs
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "tail -50 /var/log/libvirt/qemu/<vm_name>.log"
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Start VM manually and check errors
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "virsh start <vm_name>"
|
||||
|
||||
# 5. Check cloud-init ISO exists
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "ls -lh /var/lib/libvirt/images/<vm_name>-cloud-init.iso"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Cloud-init fails on first boot
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms**: Cannot SSH to VM, cloud-init errors in logs
|
||||
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
- Cloud-init configuration errors
|
||||
- Network connectivity issues in VM
|
||||
- Package installation failures
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Access VM console
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "virsh console <vm_name>"
|
||||
# Press Enter, login as root (if console password set)
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Check cloud-init status
|
||||
ssh ansible@<vm_ip> "cloud-init status --long"
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. View cloud-init logs
|
||||
ssh ansible@<vm_ip> "tail -100 /var/log/cloud-init-output.log"
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Re-run cloud-init modules
|
||||
ssh ansible@<vm_ip> "sudo cloud-init clean && sudo cloud-init init"
|
||||
|
||||
# 5. Verify network connectivity in VM
|
||||
ssh ansible@<vm_ip> "ping -c 3 8.8.8.8 && nslookup google.com"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Cannot get VM IP address
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms**: `virsh domifaddr` returns no IP
|
||||
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
- VM networking not configured
|
||||
- DHCP not working
|
||||
- VM not fully booted
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Wait for VM to boot completely
|
||||
sleep 60
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Check all network sources
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "virsh domifaddr <vm_name> --source lease"
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "virsh domifaddr <vm_name> --source agent"
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Check DHCP leases
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "virsh net-dhcp-leases default"
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Check VM network configuration
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "virsh domif-getlink <vm_name> vnet0"
|
||||
|
||||
# 5. Access via console to configure networking
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "virsh console <vm_name>"
|
||||
```
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## System Information Collection
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: system_info role fails with "command not found"
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms**: Tasks fail due to missing commands (lshw, dmidecode, etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
- Required packages not installed
|
||||
- Package installation skipped
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Run installation tasks
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info,install
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Manually install packages
|
||||
ansible all -m package -a "name=lshw,dmidecode,pciutils,usbutils state=present" --become
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Verify packages installed
|
||||
ansible all -m shell -a "which lshw dmidecode lspci"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Statistics files not created
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms**: No JSON files in `./stats/machines/`
|
||||
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
- Directory permissions issues on control node
|
||||
- Disk space full
|
||||
- Export tasks not executed
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Check directory exists and is writable
|
||||
ls -la ./stats/machines/
|
||||
mkdir -p ./stats/machines
|
||||
chmod 755 ./stats/machines
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Check disk space
|
||||
df -h .
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Run export tasks explicitly
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info,export
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Check for errors in Ansible output
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t system_info -vvv | tee ansible_debug.log
|
||||
```

|
||||
## Storage and LVM Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: LVM configuration fails on deployed VM
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms**: LVM post-deployment tasks fail
|
||||
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
- Second disk not attached to VM
|
||||
- LVM tools not installed
|
||||
- Physical volume creation failed
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Verify second disk exists
|
||||
ssh ansible@<vm_ip> "lsblk"
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Check for /dev/vdb
|
||||
ssh ansible@<vm_ip> "ls -l /dev/vdb"
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Verify LVM packages
|
||||
ssh ansible@<vm_ip> "which pvcreate vgcreate lvcreate"
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Manually create PV if needed
|
||||
ssh ansible@<vm_ip> "sudo pvcreate /dev/vdb"
|
||||
|
||||
# 5. Re-run LVM configuration
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -t deploy_linux_vm,lvm,post-deploy \
|
||||
-e "deploy_linux_vm_name=<vm_name>"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Disk full on hypervisor
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms**: VM deployment fails, "No space left on device"
|
||||
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
- Insufficient disk space in `/var/lib/libvirt/images`
|
||||
- Too many cached cloud images
|
||||
- Old VM disks not cleaned up
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Check disk space
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "df -h /var/lib/libvirt/images"
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. List all VM disks
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "ls -lh /var/lib/libvirt/images/*.qcow2"
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Remove old cloud images
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "find /var/lib/libvirt/images -name '*-cloud*.qcow2' -mtime +90 -delete"
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Remove unused VM disks (CAREFUL!)
|
||||
# Verify VM is deleted first
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "virsh list --all"
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "rm /var/lib/libvirt/images/old-vm-*.qcow2"
|
||||
|
||||
# 5. Clean up libvirt storage pools
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "virsh pool-refresh default && virsh vol-list default"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Security and Firewall
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Cannot SSH to VM after deployment
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms**: SSH connection refused or times out
|
||||
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
- Firewall blocking SSH
|
||||
- SSH service not running
|
||||
- SSH keys not deployed correctly
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Check if VM is running
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "virsh list --all"
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Access via hypervisor console
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "virsh console <vm_name>"
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. From console, check sshd status
|
||||
systemctl status sshd
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Check firewall rules
|
||||
sudo ufw status # Debian/Ubuntu
|
||||
sudo firewall-cmd --list-all # RHEL/AlmaLinux
|
||||
|
||||
# 5. Temporarily allow SSH (for troubleshooting)
|
||||
sudo ufw allow 22/tcp # Debian/Ubuntu
|
||||
sudo firewall-cmd --add-service=ssh --permanent && sudo firewall-cmd --reload # RHEL
|
||||
|
||||
# 6. Verify SSH key authorized
|
||||
cat ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: SELinux denials preventing operations
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms**: Operations fail with "Permission denied" even with sudo
|
||||
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
- SELinux blocking operations
|
||||
- Incorrect file contexts
|
||||
- Missing SELinux policies
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Check SELinux status
|
||||
ssh ansible@<host> "getenforce"
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Check for denials
|
||||
ssh ansible@<host> "sudo ausearch -m avc -ts recent"
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Generate policy from denials
|
||||
ssh ansible@<host> "sudo ausearch -m avc -ts recent | audit2allow -M mypolicy"
|
||||
ssh ansible@<host> "sudo semodule -i mypolicy.pp"
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Fix file contexts
|
||||
ssh ansible@<host> "sudo restorecon -Rv /<path>"
|
||||
|
||||
# 5. Temporarily set to permissive for testing (NOT PRODUCTION)
|
||||
ssh ansible@<host> "sudo setenforce 0"
|
||||
# After testing, re-enable
|
||||
ssh ansible@<host> "sudo setenforce 1"
|
||||
```
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Ansible playbook execution is very slow
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms**: Playbooks take excessive time to complete
|
||||
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
- Fact gathering on many hosts
|
||||
- Serial execution instead of parallel
|
||||
- Slow network connections
|
||||
- Large inventory
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Enable fact caching in ansible.cfg
|
||||
[defaults]
|
||||
fact_caching = jsonfile
|
||||
fact_caching_connection = /tmp/ansible_facts
|
||||
fact_caching_timeout = 3600
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Increase parallelism
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -f 20
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Skip fact gathering if not needed
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml -e "gather_facts=false"
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Use strategy plugin
|
||||
[defaults]
|
||||
strategy = free # In ansible.cfg
|
||||
|
||||
# 5. Enable pipelining
|
||||
[ssh_connection]
|
||||
pipelining = True
|
||||
|
||||
# 6. Profile task execution
|
||||
ansible-playbook site.yml --timing
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: High CPU usage on hypervisor
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms**: Hypervisor CPU at 100%, VMs slow
|
||||
|
||||
**Causes**:
|
||||
- CPU overcommitment
|
||||
- Runaway processes in VMs
|
||||
- Insufficient resources
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Check hypervisor load
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "top -bn1 | head -20"
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Check VM CPU allocation
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "virsh vcpuinfo <vm_name>"
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. List VMs by CPU usage
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "virsh domstats --cpu-total"
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Inside VMs, check processes
|
||||
ssh ansible@<vm_ip> "top -bn1 | head -20"
|
||||
|
||||
# 5. Reduce VM vCPU allocation if needed
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "virsh setvcpus <vm_name> <new_count> --config"
|
||||
ansible hypervisor -m shell -a "virsh shutdown <vm_name> && virsh start <vm_name>"
|
||||
```

## Environment-Specific Variables
|
||||
|
||||
### Production (`inventories/production/group_vars/all.yml`)
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# Example production variables
|
||||
environment_name: production
|
||||
backup_enabled: true
|
||||
monitoring_enabled: true
|
||||
automatic_updates_schedule: "0 2 * * 0" # Weekly Sunday 2 AM
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Staging (`inventories/staging/group_vars/all.yml`)
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# Example staging variables
|
||||
environment_name: staging
|
||||
backup_enabled: true
|
||||
monitoring_enabled: true
|
||||
automatic_updates_schedule: "0 3 * * *" # Daily 3 AM
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Development (`inventories/development/group_vars/all.yml`)
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# Example development variables
|
||||
environment_name: development
|
||||
backup_enabled: false
|
||||
monitoring_enabled: false
|
||||
automatic_updates_schedule: "0 4 * * *" # Daily 4 AM
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Variable Naming Conventions
|
||||
|
||||
### Prefix Convention
|
||||
|
||||
All role variables should be prefixed with the role name:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# Good
|
||||
deploy_linux_vm_vcpus: 4
|
||||
system_info_gather_cpu: true
|
||||
|
||||
# Bad (global namespace pollution)
|
||||
vcpus: 4
|
||||
gather_cpu: true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Type Indicators
|
||||
|
||||
Use clear variable names that indicate type:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# Boolean
|
||||
enable_firewall: true
|
||||
is_production: false
|
||||
|
||||
# String
|
||||
hostname: "webserver01"
|
||||
domain: "example.com"
|
||||
|
||||
# Integer
|
||||
cpu_count: 4
|
||||
memory_mb: 8192
|
||||
|
||||
# List
|
||||
allowed_ips:
|
||||
- "192.168.1.0/24"
|
||||
- "10.0.0.0/8"
|
||||
|
||||
# Dictionary
|
||||
lvm_config:
|
||||
vg_name: "vg_system"
|
||||
volumes:
|
||||
- name: "lv_opt"
|
||||
size: "3G"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Sensitive Variables
|
||||
|
||||
### Ansible Vault
|
||||
|
||||
Sensitive variables should be encrypted with Ansible Vault:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# inventories/production/group_vars/all/vault.yml (encrypted)
|
||||
vault_database_password: "SecurePassword123!"
|
||||
vault_api_token: "eyJhbGc..."
|
||||
vault_ssh_private_key: |
|
||||
-----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----
|
||||
...
|
||||
-----END OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Usage in playbooks**:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
database_password: "{{ vault_database_password }}"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Encryption**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ansible-vault encrypt inventories/production/group_vars/all/vault.yml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Editing**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ansible-vault edit inventories/production/group_vars/all/vault.yml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Variable Validation
|
||||
|
||||
### Using assert Module
|
||||
|
||||
Validate variables before use:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
- name: Validate required variables
|
||||
assert:
|
||||
that:
|
||||
- deploy_linux_vm_os_distribution is defined
|
||||
- deploy_linux_vm_os_distribution | length > 0
|
||||
- deploy_linux_vm_vcpus > 0
|
||||
- deploy_linux_vm_memory_mb >= 1024
|
||||
fail_msg: "Required variable validation failed"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Use Defaults**: Define sensible defaults in `roles/*/defaults/main.yml`
|
||||
2. **Document Variables**: Include description and type in README.md
|
||||
3. **Prefix Role Variables**: Avoid namespace collisions
|
||||
4. **Validate Input**: Use `assert` to catch misconfigurations early
|
||||
5. **Encrypt Secrets**: Always use Ansible Vault for sensitive data
|
||||
6. **Use Clear Names**: Make variable purpose obvious
|
||||
7. **Avoid Hardcoding**: Use variables instead of hardcoded values
