やること

DBサーバとWEBサーバを別々のVMで起動させる
windows環境でansibleを実行できるようにする（ansible_local）
inventory配下のhostsファイルをyamlで書く
ansibleのinventory/hostsファイルを読み込んでローカル環境の設定を適用させる
playbookはもちろんBestPracticesを踏襲

環境

Host OS: Windows10 Pro
Guest OS: Centos6.7 x86_64
Ansible 2.5.2
Vagrant 1.9.8
VirtualBox 5.1.22

動機

Vagrantで複数のVMを立ち上げてansibleを導入しようとした時のことです。windows環境化でansibleを実行するには色々な方法がありますが、vagrantのansible_localが使えそうな雰囲気だったので実装してみましたが、公式の方法がしっくりこなかったので独自に実装してみた話です。

Ansible Parallel Execution

公式で並列処理時の方法があったのでこれを参考に書きました。

Vagrantfile

N = 3
(1..N).each do |machine_id|
  config.vm.define "machine#{machine_id}" do |machine|
    machine.vm.hostname = "machine#{machine_id}"
    machine.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.77.#{20+machine_id}"

    # Only execute once the Ansible provisioner,
    # when all the machines are up and ready.
    if machine_id == N
      machine.vm.provision :ansible do |ansible|
        # Disable default limit to connect to all the machines
        ansible.limit = "all"
        ansible.playbook = "playbook.yml"
      end
    end
  end
end

s/:ansible/:ansible_local/gに書き換えて起動！
最後に立ち上げたVMにしかplaybookが作動せず、、、原因が良く分からない。
そもそも、ホストOSで呼び出す方法を真似たので良くなかったのかも。

Ansible Parallel Execution from a Guest

ansible_localはGuest側でansibleを起動するのでこっちの方法を参照するべきでした。
ansible専用のVM（controller）を作ろうと書いてあります。

Vagrantfile

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|

  config.vm.box = "centos6.7x86_64"

  config.vm.define "web" do |machine|
    machine.vm.network "private_network", ip: "172.17.177.21"
  end

  config.vm.define "db" do |machine|
    machine.vm.network "private_network", ip: "172.17.177.22"
  end

  config.vm.define 'controller' do |machine|
    machine.vm.network "private_network", ip: "172.17.177.11"

    machine.vm.provision :ansible_local do |ansible|
      ansible.playbook       = "site.yml"
      ansible.verbose        = true
      ansible.install        = true
      ansible.limit          = "all" # or only "nodes" group, etc.
      ansible.inventory_path = "inventories/local/hosts"
    end
  end
end

「うーん、でもansible用のVMまでわざわざ作る必要あるのか？」と思い、もう少しシンプルな作りを目指してみました。

解説

hosts.yml

Vagrantfile

require 'yaml'
ANSIBLE_INVENTORY_PATH = 'playbook/inventories/local/hosts.yml'
conf = YAML.load_file(File.join(VAGRANTFILE_DIR, ANSIBLE_INVENTORY_PATH))

inventoryのhostsがyaml形式で書ける(ansible 2.1以上)ようになったことでロードが容易になりました。設定も色々記述できて自由度が上がったと思います。

multi-machine

Vagrantfile

VAGRANTFILE_DIR = File.dirname(__FILE__)
ANSIBLE_INVENTORY_PATH = 'playbook/inventories/local/hosts.yml'

conf['all']['hosts'].each do |host, value|
    config.vm.define host do |machine|
      machine.vm.hostname = value['hostname']
      machine.vm.network "private_network", ip: value['ip']

      # virtualbox
      machine.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
        vb.name = value['hostname']
      end

      # synced_folder
      if value.has_key? 'synced_folder' then
        value['synced_folder'].each do |folder|
          machine.vm.synced_folder File.join(VAGRANTFILE_DIR, folder['host']), folder['guest']
        end
      end

      # ansible
      machine.vm.provision :ansible_local do |ansible|
        ansible.playbook = "playbook/#{host}.yml"
        ansible.inventory_path = ANSIBLE_INVENTORY_PATH
        ansible.limit = 'all'
      end
    end

公式のようなN = 3など記述せず、hosts.ymlの配列分のVMを増やすこともできます。（そこまでする必要があるのかは置いといて）
site.ymlが読み込まれていないのがちょっと残念な作り。
