wcm_io_devops.conga_host_facts

This role provides conga facts based on instance tags.

At the moment the following facts are retrieved:

• conga_node

This role was developed as part of the wcm.io DevOps Ansible Automation for AEM to integrate Ansible with CONGA.

Requirements

This role requires Ansible 2.7 or higher.

EC2 instance tags

The ec2 instances need the following tags to be set.

conga_nodes

Comma separated string containing all conga_node names of the host.

Example: author-dev.website1.com,dev.website1.com

conga_variants

Comma separated string containing all conga_variants of the host.

Example: aem-author,aem-publish

conga_variant_node_mapping

Comma separated string containing a mapping from conga_variant to conga_node. Note: This mapping is only used on singlehost instances.

Example: aem-author=author-dev.website1.com,aem-publish=dev.website1.com

• conga_variant_node_mapping (comma separated string like: "")

Static inventory variables

When not working with a ec2 inventory the host needs some variables to be set.

Example for a singlehost instance with multiple nodes and variants:

conga_variants:
  - aem-author
  - aem-publish

conga_nodes:
  - author.local-website1
  - local-website1

conga_variant_node_mapping:
    - "aem-author=author.local-website1"
    - "aem-publish=local-website1"

Role Variables

# conga_host_facts_pattern:

The ansible host pattern. This variable must be set!

conga_host_facts_aws_region: "eu-west-1"

The aws region to use when facts are retrieved using ec2_instance_facts.

Example

An example can be found below tests. The tests use the conga-aem-definitions as CONGA configuration.

The playbook test-singlehost.yml will retrieve the conga_node based on the host_pattern provided in the two include_playbook statements.

The playbook test-multihost.yml will retrieve the conga_node based on the host_pattern with the value aem-author:aem-publish.

Both variants include the playbook include-test.yml which applies the wcm_io_devops.conga_host_facts role, followed by the wcm_io_devops.conga_facts role to retrieve the conga configuration for the node, role and variant.

Please refer to the host_vars and the inventory files on how to configure both setups.
