WEBVTT 1 00:00.000 --> 00:05.280 Okay friends, so before we begin actually tempotizing some configurations, what 2 00:05.280 --> 00:08.320 I first want to do is to create some variable files 3 00:08.320 --> 00:12.000 and we're going to be able to call those variables when rendering the actual 4 00:12.000 --> 00:12.880 template itself. 5 00:12.880 --> 00:16.460 So what we'll do here is, and let me just get my pen up, is we'll write some 6 00:16.460 --> 00:18.160 really simple group files. 7 00:18.160 --> 00:23.300 Or rather should I say group_verse variables, as well as some host_verse, and 8 00:23.300 --> 00:26.000 we'll actually have some of these in a nested form. 9 00:26.000 --> 00:29.370 Now to keep things fun and light, we're not going to be concerned about 10 00:29.370 --> 00:31.680 rendering Linux configurations quite just yet. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 10 00:29.370 --> 00:31.680 rendering Linux configurations quite just yet. 11 00:31.680 --> 00:35.680 We'll just create some dummy config and render the actual template itself. 12 00:35.680 --> 00:38.980 You'll get to see what I mean. So let's go and do that then. So what I will do 13 00:38.980 --> 00:43.440 here is if I do an LS, we can see the contents of our directory structure. 14 00:43.440 --> 00:47.630 If I go in and do a CD into host_verse. So inside of this particular file, what 15 00:47.630 --> 00:50.560 I'm going to do is just make sure I've got some host variables. 16 00:50.560 --> 00:54.330 They're just align with the information in my inventory. So I have a blue box 17 00:54.330 --> 00:58.410 and a yellow box machine. So what I will do is I'll just say touch blue box dot 18 00:58.410 --> 00:58.800 yml, 19 00:58.800 --> 01:03.950 as well as touch yellow box dot yml as well. So the first one I will go into WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 19 00:58.800 --> 01:03.950 as well as touch yellow box dot yml as well. So the first one I will go into 20 01:03.950 --> 01:05.760 will be the blue box right here. 21 01:05.760 --> 01:09.840 Let's do i for insert mode, have a 3- to denote our yaml file. 22 01:09.840 --> 01:14.120 So let's just create a key called, oh I don't know let's say device_roll. It 23 01:14.120 --> 01:15.520 doesn't actually matter quite so much. 24 01:15.520 --> 01:20.450 And we'll just give it a name and we'll just say blue box web. We'll also have 25 01:20.450 --> 01:24.000 a type key and this specifies that this is a web server. 26 01:24.000 --> 01:27.550 So let's do a similar thing over on the other device here. So let's go into 27 01:27.550 --> 01:30.400 yellow box. In insert mode, have our free hyphens at the top. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 27 01:27.550 --> 01:30.400 yellow box. In insert mode, have our free hyphens at the top. 28 01:30.400 --> 01:35.360 We'll have our device_roll key, have a name, and I'll just say yellow_db. Okay. 29 01:35.360 --> 01:40.200 And the type here in this case is going to be a database. So basically we're 30 01:40.200 --> 01:44.550 pretending that the yellow box is our database and the blue box is a web server 31 01:44.550 --> 01:44.720 . 32 01:44.720 --> 01:48.510 Really quite simple. So to escape colon wq to write and quit, what I'm now 33 01:48.510 --> 01:51.680 going to do is go into my group file right here. 34 01:51.680 --> 01:55.570 If I do an ls, what I want to do is to create a group variable for one of my 35 01:55.570 --> 01:58.400 groups. In this case here, I will just use the all group. 36 01:58.400 --> 02:03.280 So I'll say touch all dot yml and we'll just go into that particular file. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 36 01:58.400 --> 02:03.280 So I'll say touch all dot yml and we'll just go into that particular file. 37 02:03.280 --> 02:06.780 And we'll have a three hyphens at the top. Once again, I'll just create a key 38 02:06.780 --> 02:08.800 called let's maybe say domain info. 39 02:08.800 --> 02:14.040 And then I'll have the name, let's just call this CBT nuggets land and the 40 02:14.040 --> 02:16.800 location is going to be in Oregon and the United States. 41 02:16.800 --> 02:20.190 So really super basic information right now. We have created some very, very 42 02:20.190 --> 02:22.560 simple host and group variable files. 43 02:22.560 --> 02:25.680 What we now want to do is to learn how we can actually populate the values 44 02:25.680 --> 02:29.360 within these files by utilizing our ginger two templates. 45 02:29.360 --> 02:32.400 So let's talk about that in the very next video. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 45 02:29.360 --> 02:32.400 So let's talk about that in the very next video.
