ansible-playbook

What problem does it solve? Manually configuring servers and deploying applications is error-prone and inconsistent across environments. This Skill generates idempotent Ansible playbooks that provision infrastructure, manage configuration, and deploy applications repeatably without agents. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Role-Based Structure: Organizes automation into reusable roles (common, nginx, postgres, app) with tasks, handlers, templates, and variable hierarchies. - Secure Secrets Management: Encrypts credentials with Ansible Vault and enforces no-plaintext-secrets rules. - Zero-Downtime Rolling Deploys: Uses serial execution, load balancer drain/restore, and health checks for safe production deployments. - Use Case: You need to provision three web servers and two database replicas for production. The Skill generates an inventory, group variables, a site playbook, and a rolling deploy playbook with HAProxy integration and health checks. ## Quick Start Write an Ansible playbook that provisions Ubuntu web servers with nginx, deploys my application with a systemd service, and performs a rolling zero-downtime deployment.
