I have an Ansible playbook with roles that I want to execute from Terraform.
site.yaml
---
- hosts: cluster
gather_facts: yes
become: yes
roles:
- role: prereq
roles/prereq/tasks/main.yml
contains the tasks.
With Ansible, first I create the inventory:
inventory/hosts
[bastion]
192.168.2.1
[node]
192.168.2.2
192.168.2.3
[cluster:children]
node
[cluster:vars]
ansible_ssh_common_args='-o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p -q [email protected]"'
Then I launch ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts site.yml
.
I want to reproduce this in Terraform without creating manually the inventory/hosts file. I did the following:
terraform {
required_providers {
ansible = {
source = "ansible/ansible"
version = "~> 1.1.0"
}
}
resource "ansible_group" "bastion" {
name = "bastion"
}
resource "ansible_group" "nodes" {
name = "node"
}
resource "ansible_group" "cluster" {
name = "cluster"
children = [
ansible_group.nodes.name
]
variables = {
ansible_ssh_common_args = "-o ProxyCommand='...'"
}
}
# NOTE bastion and then nodes come from a remote state.
resource "ansible_host" "bastion" {
name = bastion.ip
groups = [ansible_group.bastion.name]
}
resource "ansible_host" "nodes" {
for_each = { for key, val in nodes : key => val }
name = each.value.ip
groups = [ansible_group.nodes.name]
}
resource "ansible_playbook" "test" {
name = "all"
playbook = "site.yaml"
replayable = true
ansible_playbook_binary = "ansible-playbook"
ignore_playbook_failure = true
}
And it fails with the following message:
ansible_playbook = <<EOT
[WARNING]: Found both group and host with same name: cluster
[WARNING]: Found both group and host with same name: all
PLAY [cluster] *******************************************************************

PLAY RECAP *********************************************************************

EOT
ansible_playbook_errors = "exit status 4"
It is not clear to me what should I insert in the name
parameter in the ansible_playbook.test
and how should I configure the ansible hosts and groups. Do you have any suggestion?
