<p>An individual unit of code within Ansible that carry out a certain task. It&#8217;s an open source automation and IT  configurations management Module that is utilized by the user to do program on repetitive tasks automatically without having less knowledge of programming languages. Ansible modules are very important that can create blocks of Ansible automation and are accountable for find out the actions on remote hosts. One of the main work of ansible modules is to perform different tasks such as installing software, managing files, manipulating services and so on. There are different categorize of modules in Ansible that is based on the operations they perform and these are Core Modules, Community Modules, Custom Modules. Let&#8217;s understand the definition of Ansible from Wikipedia are as follow:</p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; background-color: #00ccff;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; background-color: #00ccff;"><strong>According to Wikipedia: </strong><b>Ansible</b> is a suite of software tools that enables <a style="color: #000000; background-color: #00ccff;" title="Infrastructure as code" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrastructure_as_code">infrastructure as code</a>.

<p><strong>Top 10 Ansible Modules to Know In 2024</strong></p>
<p>It’s an automation platform as well as open source IT configuration management. In its own playbook it is utilizing modules. It does not need for the installation of any software for the nodes it handles; that’s why it is also known as agentless. Inward the playbook of Ansible, the module of Ansible is utilized. It consists of the three most important files that are the main file, the Host/inventory file and Ansible.cfg file. Now let’s discuss top 10 Ansible modules are as follow:</p>
<p><strong>1. Package Management</strong></p>
<p>DNF and APT are the modules that are provided to the famous package manager that in any system you enable to install any package. This module can simply imagine, easily remove, install, downgrade, upgrade and list packages. It can help to download several packages as well as install the listing package.</p>
<p><strong>2. User Module</strong></p>
<p>We can utilize the User Module when we have to put in a specific user to our module. User Module permits you to formulate and organize the users of Linux. While it has several different parameters, still you can develop new users. It also delivers you with so many alternatives for handling numerous users.</p>
<p><strong>3. File Modules</strong></p>
<p>It can organize its properties as well as its files. It wipes out the symlinks, directories and files. It permits you to regulate the directories and the files with ownership, establishing the permission of SELinux labels. It is also utilized for setting the file properties on directories by removing the files and directories with the parameter state: absent. For targeting windows, it uses the win_file module and many other modules have the similar features that means the similar options as the file module that consists of template, copy and assemble.</p>
<p><strong>4. Template Modules</strong></p>
<p>This Module is quite similar to the copy module that we discuss in the below modules. As before going to tracing to the target hosts, it is utilizing the content techniques dynamically by using the language of Jinja2 templating language. By formulating template files, it permits much more flexibility which is authorized to interpret if conditions, complicated content and much more.</p>
<p><strong>5. Copy Module</strong></p>
<p>For targeting the host and from the Ansible Control node, this module permits you to copy a file and it also permits you to establish authorization, SELinux labels to the objective file and the last one is a privilege. This module is very best for copying a small file and with the identical authorization and content, if the file is not in a place then only this module helps to copy the file.</p>
<p><strong>6. Debug Module</strong></p>
<p>Debug Module is beneficial for debugging variables and during the performance it prints the statements. We use the Debug module for printing a message on hosts.</p>
<p><strong>7. Window Modules</strong></p>
<p>It is utilized for window host and for controlling the window machines you are required to authorize and configure the PowerShell and for all this system one thing is important to have and that is Linux Control Machine.</p>
<p><strong>8. Git Modules</strong></p>
<p>For deploying files or software it regulates the git checkouts of storage. Having clones a repo has an individual Git directory. If there is no repository, it will be cloned without having the recursive option missing the sub-modules.</p>
<p><strong>9. Ping Module</strong></p>
<p>If we want to survey whether our inventory file is organized or not and whether the relationship with our hosts is distinguished and if an SSH connection is organized then the ping module shifts to pong. It verifies a usable python that tries to attach with the host and return pong for the achievement of Ping modules.</p>
<p><strong>10. Yum Module</strong></p>
<p>For installation of a service a user utilizes this Yum Module and without restricting the keyword collections you can use the short module Yum. With the yum package manager you can install, remove, downgrade and upgrade. The configuration file of remote Yum is to utilize for the agreement. Yum configuration files are defined as if set to all main and repo is disabled all excludes, excludes in yum. configurations and given for repo id.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The conclusion of Ansible Module would typically summarize the key points discussed throughout the article and emphasis the important takeaways for the readers. We have explain the 10 module that is important in 2024 with explaining the concept of ansible module. Ansible modules are very important that can create blocks of Ansible automation and are accountable for find out the actions on remote hosts. One of the main work of ansible modules is to perform different tasks such as installing software, managing files, manipulating services and so on.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: center;">How OpenSource technologies support Devops Success</h2>
<h3><span style="color: #0000ff;">DevOps and Open Source</span></h3>
<p>Devops ; It was nearly a decade back in around 2009, that the term DevOps was coined by Belgian consultant, project manager and agile practitioner Patrick Debois, as a portmanteau of Developer &amp; Operations . It slowly transitioned as a successor to the Agile methodology and ensured improvement to the Application Lifecycle Management process.</p>
<p>You can consider<a href="https://devopscurry.com/__trashed-6__trashed/"> DevOps</a> as a strategy or principle that every company should implement within their delivery pipeline.</p>
<p>To implement DevOps, you should have the right tools and processes at your disposal to make it work efficiently. There are a variety of open-source DevOps tools that help in streamlining the development and deployment process. These open-source tools are built with enhanced collaboration that improves performance and allows you to handle different market needs.</p>
<h6><span style="color: #0000ff;">Why does DevOps need Open-source support?</span></h6>
<p>Well, many companies have adopted the DevOps approach for effective and faster delivery. Most companies do not think of implementing open source software within their organization to enhance the DevOps approach. Also, companies restrain their developers from contributing to open source libraries, so they miss a huge opportunity for success. Below are a few reasons why a company should focus on the open-source community.</p>
<p><strong>Open-source is low-cost :</strong>Open-source means it is available freely or at a lower cost than other closed-source systems.</p>
<p><strong>Based on open standards :</strong>with open-source, you can find each tool, source code, and related troubleshooting documents easily. If you are still using traditional proprietary software, it will be difficult for your organization to evolve.</p>
<p><strong>Open-source is customizable</strong><br />
Open-source offers customizability where you can use tools and products that are way more efficient and light-weight than other available closed-source options. You can freely choose your framework and easily migrate and automate processes with open-source tools and frameworks.</p>
<p><strong>The open-source community is expanding: </strong>the open-source community is now expanding, with millions of contributors and developers writing open code and development. Now companies are even supporting its exposure to their DevOps process. By joining open-source, you will become part of the most dynamic group that provides a better solution for every problem.</p>
<h6><span style="color: #0000ff;">DevOps Success aligns with Open-source</span></h6>
<p>There is no doubt that opting for open-source as a part of your DevOps process is beneficial to your organization. But if you are still using highly-proprietary and old traditional IT solutions, you may not achieve the success you are working for. Open source has opened the gate for DevOps to work efficiently. Below are the reasons why DevOps success aligns with the Open-source system, tools, and practices.</p>
<ul>
<li>DevOps groups should go for open-source because the tools and techniques available in the open-source community are either off the shelf or built at some other organization. This will eventually save you time and cost of developing the required tools at your end.</li>
<li>If you avail open-source, then you can choose any of the open-source frameworks to work on. You can easily migrate your project from one framework to another without any proprietary lock-in or vendor secrets. It allows your software delivery agile, which is essential in the DevOps process.</li>
<li>DevOps mainly focuses on the visibility of the project or application progress within the team members. If you add the open-source within the DevOps process, it ensures the visibility is maintained even to the code level of all the tools you use.</li>
<li>Suppose we get any problem during continuous delivery. In that case, there is no time that you contact proprietary vendors to resolve the issue as proprietary tools require expertise to look into the troubleshooting process. But if you go with open-source, you can resolve the issue by yourself as most of the problems are documented publicly for reference.</li>
<li>With closed systems, you cannot leverage various tools you are using by integrating them and making the system entirely automated. But with an open-source system, integration and automation are pretty efficient and straightforward.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h6><span style="color: #0000ff;">Some Popular Open-source DevOps tools</span></h6>
<p>You can accelerate an existing system by using open-source tools within your DevOps. Below is the list of the open-source DevOps tools.</p>

<p>To implement DevOps, you should have the right tools and processes at your disposal to make it work efficiently. There are a variety of open-source DevOps tools that help in streamlining the development and deployment process. These open-source tools are built with enhanced collaboration that improves performance and allows you to handle different market needs.</p>
<h5><span style="color: #0000ff;"><b>Why do DevOps need Open-source?</b></span></h5>
<p>Well, many companies across the globe have started adopting the DevOps approach for effective and faster delivery. However most companies still shy away from implementing open-source software within their organizations to enhance the DevOps approach.

<p>Since open-source tools are free from any proprietorship or licensing from any vendor, there is definitely no pressure of monopoly or being vendor locked-in. Whenever you feel to opt out of the open-source tool, you can move out without any restrictions.</p>
<h5><span style="color: #ff0000;"><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2660.png" alt="♠" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> <span style="color: #000000;">Abundance of Talent pool</span></span></h5>
<p>Since open source software and tools are free and easily available, the number of people with an expertise on popular open source solution is more as compared to licensed tools( because fo the cost involved). So when looking for available expert talent pool in the market for your Devops toolchain, you have higher chances of success with open-source solutions.</p>
<h5><span style="color: #0000ff;"><b>How DevOps success aligns with Open-source</b></span></h5>
<p>There is no doubt that opting for open-source as a part of your DevOps process is beneficial to your organization. But if you are still using highly-proprietary and old traditional IT solutions, you may not achieve the success you are working for. Open source has opened the gate for DevOps to work efficiently. Below are the reasons why DevOps success aligns with the Open-source system, tools, and practices.</p>
<ul>
<li>DevOps groups should go for open-source because the tools and techniques available in the open-source community are either off the shelf or built at some other organization. This will eventually save you time and cost of developing the required tools at your end.</li>
<li>If you avail open-source, then you can choose any of the open-source frameworks to work on. You can easily migrate your project from one framework to another without any proprietary lock-in or vendor secrets. It allows your software delivery agile, which is essential in the DevOps process.</li>
<li>DevOps mainly focuses on the visibility of the project or application progress within the team members. If you add the open-source within the DevOps process, it ensures the visibility is maintained even to the code level of all the tools you use.</li>
<li>Suppose we get any problem during continuous delivery. In that case, there is no time that you contact proprietary vendors to resolve the issue as proprietary tools require expertise to look into the troubleshooting process. But if you go with open-source, you can resolve the issue by yourself as most of the problems are documented publicly for reference.</li>
<li>With closed systems, you cannot leverage various tools you are using by integrating them and making the system entirely automated. But with an open-source system, integration and automation are pretty efficient and straightforward.</li>
</ul>
<h5><span style="color: #0000ff;"><b>Common Open-source DevOps tools</b></span></h5>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In current scenario <strong>Devops Engineers or<a href="https://devopscurry.com/becoming-a-succe…essional-in-2020/"> Devops professionals</a></strong> are the most sought after profiles in software industry. Most of the companies are hiring DevOps experts, be it large enterprises or a small startup.</p>
<p>But an important thing to remember here is that <a href="https://devopscurry.com/becoming-a-succe…essional-in-2020/">DevOps</a> is not only about methods and tools but more of a Cultural Shift. It works to break down silos and create collaborations between various teams within an organisation.</p>
<p>Thus, a DevOps engineer should be an expert in not only software development but also in operations. A DevOps engineer will work together with both &#8211; Developers and Operations Team.</p>
<h4><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Essential Skills to become a successful DevOps Engineer</strong></span></h4>
<p>There is an ever increasing demand for DevOps experts in the industry. Everyone is trying to adapt to DevOps nowadays. But only a few are doing it right. Let us discuss some fundamental skills a DevOps person must acquire to be successful in this profile.</p>
<h5><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Linux Fundamentals and Scripting</strong></span></span></h5>
<p>Most of the organisations are adopting open-source tools and preferring Linux for professional use. As Linux is more secure as compared to other operating systems and also, it is an open-source operating system. That is why a good knowledge of Linux is essential for a DevOps engineer. Also a DevOps engineer should have good hands-on experience in code scripting. He/she should know scripting languages like bash, shell, python, perl, etc. Because DevOps engineer will be responsible for automation and required to write codes in any of these languages.</p>
<h5><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;">Knowledge of Various DevOps Tools and Technologies</span> </strong></span></h5>
<p>DevOps is implemented with the help of various tools. Additionally, DevOps is achieved in different stages and each stage requires a different set of tools. Some of these tools and technologies are described below:</p>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li><strong>Knowledge of Source Code Management:</strong> there is a need to constantly create and update the software codes. Source Code Management will store the codes, merge new and old codes, and control the code versions. Tools used for Source Code Management: Git, Github, Gitlab, etc</li>
<li><strong>Knowledge of Configuration Management tools:</strong> as the name suggests, it is used to manage software and operating system configurations. Configuration Management tools will take a remote connection to the target server and push the configuration changes. They can manage thousands of servers at once suing code. It is achieved through click of a button or execution of a command. Examples of Configuration Management are Puppet, Chef, Ansible,Terraform.</li>
<li><strong>Knowledge of Continuous Integration:</strong> It is the process of automating the code with the master copy between various developers. Some examples of CI tools are VSTS, Bamboo, Jenkins,circleCI, TravisCI, Buildkite etc.</li>
<li><strong>Knowledge of Continuous Testing:</strong> Continuous testing will reduce the feedback time after code testing. The code will be tested in the development department automatically using tools. Famous testing tools are Selenium and TestComplete.</li>
<li><strong>Familiarity with Continuous Monitoring</strong> It is used to do continuous monitoring of application performance, downtime, and errors. Some examples of Continuous Monitoring tools are Nagios, Splunk, Zabbix,Promethues, Datadog,Icinga,New Relic.</li>
<li><strong>Understanig of Containerization (Containers &amp; Docker):</strong> containerization will virtualize the operating system. So different containers running different applications can share the operating system. Some examples are Docker, Kubernetes, Vagrant.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h5><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery</strong> </span></span></h5>
<p>CI/CD is one of the most popular and in-demand skill for DevOps implementation. Good knowledge of CI and CD will help DevOps engineer to develop a high-quality product at a faster speed. This will save a lot of time. It will also help to detect any errors in integration in the early stages.Continuous Delivery is like an extension to Continuous Integration. Here, a recently integrated code is made ready for deployment automatically. If this process is done manually, it will take 2 to 3 days to complete. Traditionally, the development team used to release new code to the testing team. Then the testing team used to do their part. These delays are now possible to avoid using CD &#8211; Continuous Deliver</p>
<h5><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Infrastructure as Code(IaC)</strong></span></span></h5>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Knowledge</span> of <em>Infrastructure as Code </em>is again a must have skills DevOps engineer. This will basically help to manage infrastructure. With technologies like cloud computing, it is now possible to provide the needed infrastructure to the developers. This is done using automated scripts. These scripts will execute the required commands and will do configuration management. The requirement can be fulfilled in seconds using Infrastructure as Code.</p>
<h5><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Key Concepts of DevOps</strong> </span></span></h5>
<p>DevOps is a methodology where different teams of an organisation collaborate to break down traditional silos. This is accomplished using various tools and concepts of DevOps. There is no strict framework for DevOps. Each organisation can adopt and implement DevOps as per their criteria and needs. Any DevOps professional must have in-depth knowledge about the key concepts of DevOps. The job of a DevOps professional is a high responsibility job that will affect each department within an organisation.</p>
<h5><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Knowledge about Public Cloud</strong> </span></span></h5>
<p>If you are planning to get into DevOps, you must have this some knowledge of public clouds. This can be one of the most in-demand skills for a DevOps engineer. Companies are now using cloud technology. Cloud provides a centralized platform for various processes like testing, deploying, and releasing the code. So, you must have the skill and deep knowledge of various cloud platforms and the services they provide. Some of the key public cloud services providers are Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud(GCP), Microsoft Azure, Digitalocean etc.</p>
<h5><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Soft Skills/Communication Skills</strong> </span></span></h5>
<p>DevOps highlights the work environment and people more than tools and practices. Hence, soft skills play a great role in DevOps. Some of these skills are:</p>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li>Clear Communication</li>
<li>Empathy</li>
<li>Taking Ownership</li>
<li>Positive Attitude</li>
<li>Pressure Handling skills</li>
<li>Listening Skills</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Other than these skills, trust also plays an important role. The trust of the teammates can be achieved by active communications and creating a positive and supportive environment. The implementation of these skills will be reflected in the overall performance of the team and eventually the whole organization</p>
<p><strong>DevOps is all about breaking silos within the organisations and making a friendly and supportive environment at workplaces.</strong></p>
<p>With the help of DevOps, development, operation  and business teams collaborate. They will deliver high-quality products to the customers at a faster pace. Other than these essential skills, other DevOps skills that can be adopted are collaboration, flexibility, security skills and customer-first mindset.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>What is Infrastructure As a Code?</b></p>
<p>As we are edging towards end of 2020 (an uneventful year),  if you have been following the DevOps space or working into Cloud or DevOps domain, you would have frequently come across this term &#8220;IaC (<b><a href="https://devopscurry.com/things-you-shoul…-as-code-in-2020/">Infrastructure</a> As  Code</b>)&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Infrastructure As a Code is</strong> very popular term in DevOps, aka <strong><em>IaaC or IaC,</em></strong> it is the process of managing your IT infrastructure using only configurations files(ready Code).</p>
<p><em>Let us now understand what is IaC and what is the use of IaC in DevOps?</em></p>
<p><b>Definition of Infrastructure As a Code</b></p>
<p>As per the Wikipedia:</p>
<p><strong>Infrastructure As a Code</strong> is the process of managing and provisioning of cloud infrastructure or physical data centers through machine-readable definition files or code, rather than physical hardware configuration or interactive configuration tools.</p>
<p>In simple words &#8211; Infrastructure As a Code will help you to manage your IT Infrastructure with just some lines of code. You need not have a dedicated Admin army to maintain physical infrastructure and tools for this. IaC will give you the remarkable benefits of consistency, easy &amp; faster maintenance, low-cost management. Additionally, there is no room for those ‘Human Errors’.</p>
<p>IT Infrastructure management has been a critical and tedious task for any company or industry. Why? Well, you need to have a large source of human power to manage the whole infrastructure. This includes investing a huge amount of money and manpower, scalability, availability, inconsistency, and what not! Still there is always a room for ‘human mistakes’.</p>
<p><b>Benefits of IaaC: </b>infrastructure as code has many benefits, some of them are listed below:<b><br />
</b></p>
<ul>
<li><b>Consistency: </b>while using IaC, there is no chance of human mistakes and inconsistencies. IaC has config files to themselves. Thus, the same configurations files can be deployed seamlessly every time.</li>
<li><b>Faster Speed: </b>one of the  notable benefits of IaC is speed. As it only needs a script(code) to set up a whole infrastructure. Eventually, it takes lesser time and  makes the whole process much more faster and efficient.</li>
<li><b>Reduced Cost: </b>IaC lowers the cost of infrastructure management significantly. You do not have to spend money on manpower to manage the hardware and physical space.</li>
<li><b>Consistent Configuration: </b>you are able to configure files just like a simple source code file. This makes its easier to trace and track ,  all the changes in your infrastructure configuration. You don’t need to play guessing games anymore.</li>
<li><b>Faster Software Deployment: </b>you will be able to deploy the infrastructure in many stages. It will make the software development process more efficient. Also, this will boost the team’s productivity.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Some Popular Configuration Management Tools for IaC</b><b></b></p>
<ul>
<li><b>Ansible : a</b>nsible was created by RedHat Team. Designed with automation in mind, it doesn’t use agents. Ansible will run by default in Push mode. While using push mode, an SSH connection is necessary. Pull mode is also available and can be used when needed. Ansible provides a “radically simple” configuration language.  It is possible to create your own modules in Ansible. Thus, Ansible is also one of the most flexible IaC. Moreover, we can combine Ansible with other tools. Some of these tools are Jenkins, Ansible Works(AWX), RunDeck, ARA, etc.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>Terraform: </b>developed by HashiCorp, Terraform works with multiple clouds. Terraform uses its own DSL called HashiCorp Configuration Language(HSL). HCL is JSON compatible language. You can write your own plugins in Terraform. It is completely cloud-agnostic. Terraform will help in managing large infrastructure.  Terraform automation focus on the core plan/apply cycle. It comes in various shapes. It supports the change and provisioning previews. Terraform is able to replicate deployments and individual server instances.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>Puppet: </b>puppet is one of the older IaC tools and has been used by companies like AWS, Google Cloud, VMWare, Reddit, Dell, and Azure. Puppet has some of the most advanced interfaces. It internally uses Ruby-based DSL. Puppet has been on the market for quite a long time. The push model is by default in Puppet. However, Pull model can be configured as and when needed. You will find Puppet usually in a client-server architecture. Puppet keeps an eye on the infrastructure for changes that might affect the defined end state. It will automatically fix those changes.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>Chef: </b>chef is again an old school tool and one of the most popular configuration management tools. Chef also uses Ruby-based DSL, just like Puppet. Chef runs on a client-server configuration. It is available as a standalone configuration, which is called ‘Chef-solo’. Chef uses ‘<em>recipes</em>’ and ‘<em>cookbooks</em>’ to run your infrastructure. You can also create your own ‘recipes’. Chef has a large user base and a full set of tools. Thus, it is possible for anyone to create recipes, regardless of technical background.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>Saltstack: </b>SaltStack is often called ‘Salt’. Salt is used in DevOps services for IaC. Because it gathers developer code and configuration data from a central code repository. The main purpose to create Salt was for high-speed data collection. Salt uses Python modules to manage configurations and other actions. Salt works on a client-server topology. Salt masters are servers and Salt minions are clients. You can find configurations in Salt state files. These files contain every information needed to keep the system in the desired state.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>AWS Cloud Formation: </b>AWS Cloudformation is created only for users working in the AWS Cloud. AWS Cloud Formation allows you to create templates using YAML and JSON files. Deployment of the resources is possible to do in a repeatable and manageable way using AWS, because it does have an automation feature. You will only have to pay for the resources you have used. You only need to configure the template to your application. CloudFormation will handle the rest of the tasks. Additionally, it is possible to use a single template for various regions and AWS accounts.</li>
</ul>
