Hi I have a general question please with regards to what account I should use as the * standard * user for initiating Ansible deployments / rollouts.
I know that the use of the term * standard * could be a little tricky, but in general, when starting a new environment at a new site what account should I use as the "Ansible deployment account". I have experienced one environment just using the root user, and then connecting at the root user on the remote servers. I have also experienced people just using their own accounts and adding them to a group called ansible that owns all of the deployment files. I was thinking of just using the account ansible on the local Ansible server, which then connects to remote ansible users on the remote servers. Then doing a sudo to root if required - which it will in most cases I guess. Using the root user seems wrong and using individual accounts does not seem very tidy. Do others use a special ansible account for deployments? Just looking for thoughts to confirm if I am doing the right thing. It's lonely being the person setting things up and making the standards. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
