Hello guys, I'm in the last year of my studies and the question in the title is to help me write my bachelor thesis.
My bachelor thesis is part a technical research(make a proof of concept.) and literature study. The research that I did was based around 1 question: "How do I use Ansible in a production environment to configure a large number of on-premise devices via a cloud environment?" So the following was what I did for the proof of concept: I installed ansible in a cloud environment (google cloud) and created 3 VM's in VMware workstation. To be able to configure those 3 VM's, I set up an OpenVPN connection.The ansible server in the cloud also became an OpenVPN server. I also created a new local VM that acted as an OpenVPN client that then routed all the traffic to the other local VM's using iptables rules. I now realize that the setup of the VPN needed to be the other way around (the ansible server should have been the VPN client). I was wondering what other setups are possible in this scenario and what other hardware or software would be necessary (for example: is pfsense an option? or a proxy?). Say for example I have ansible installed in the cloud on a VM and I want to configure devices at the office, how would you do it? Would really appreciate your feedback! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
