Deploy AAP21 on AWS using Ansible

An offline_token is required for downloading the AAP bundle. Put this value into the vars.yml file below. See https://github.com/ansible/workshops/tree/devel/roles/aap_download for more details. Generate a token here: https://access.redhat.com/management/api.

Prerequisites

# Copy and edit the variables file
cp vars.yml.sample vars.yml
# vim vars.yml

# Install Python dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Install Ansible Collection dependencies
ansible-galaxy collection install -r collections/requirements.yml

# Export AWS credentials
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID='AK123'
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY='abc123'

Run playbook

ansible-playbook -e @vars.yml provision.yml

You should be able to SSH to the created instance with:

ssh -i <prefix>/<prefix>-private.pem ec2-user@<ip>

Teardown

ansible-playbook -e @vars.yml teardown.yml

In the event of the provision playbook failing, it is advised to run the teardown playbook before re-trying. Otherwise you might end up with duplicate resources, within the created VPC, that will need to be manually cleaned.
