Ansible can interact with configured clients from the command LINE with the ansible command, and how you can automate configuration with playbooks run through the ansible-playbook command.

The first step in creating a role is creating its DIRECTORY structure. To create the BASE directory structure, we’re going to use a tool BUNDLED with Ansible called ansible-galaxy:

• $ ansible-galaxy init azavea.packer
• azavea.packer was created successfully

That command will create an azavea.packer directory with the following structure:

+-- README.md

+-- defaults

¦ +-- main.yml

+-- files

+-- handlers

¦ +-- main.yml

+-- meta

¦ +-- main.yml

+-- tasks

¦ +-- main.yml

+-- TEMPLATES

+-- vars

+-- main.yml
