Ansible has a wide range of modules available to create and manage resources like openstack flavors, images, keypairs, networks, routers among others on the flex cloud. These modules are available in the Openstack.Cloud ansible collection. In this post we will discuss creating resources on flex cloud using ansible modules.
In this blog post we will discuss how we can use ansible to manage instances running on a flex cloud. It is important to note that while it is possible to create resources on an openstack cloud using ansible itself but the main aim of this blog post is to discuss how we can manage existing instances running within a project with ansible. The examples provided in this blog post are for instances running ubuntu 20.04 LTS as the base OS; these instructions can be adapted to accomodate any other OS as well
