When ansible-playbook is executed with --check it will not make any changes on remote systems.  Example: ansible --connection=local   -m ping localhost --check localhost | SUCCESS => {     "changed": false,     "ping": "pong" } Sometimes you may want to modify the check mode behavior of individual tasks. This is done via the  check_mode  option, which can be added to tasks. There are two options: Force a task to  run in check mode , even when the playbook is called  without   --check . This is called  check_mode:   yes . Force a task to  run in normal mode  and make changes to the system, even when the playbook is called  with   --check . This is called  check_mode:   no .

# ansible --connection=local   -m ping localhost localhost | SUCCESS => {     "changed": false,     "ping": "pong" ansible --connection=local   -m command -a "uname -r" localhost localhost | CHANGED | rc=0 >> 4.14.181-142.260.amzn2.x86_64

Company falsely claimed its “Emergency D-Virus” treatment is “FDA accepted” The Federal Trade Commission charged a California-based company called Golden Sunrise Nutraceutical, Inc. with deceptively advertising a $23,000 treatment plan as a scientifically proven way to treat COVID-19, the disease caused by coronavirus. According to the FTC’s complaint , Golden Sunrise began marketing its Emergency D-Virus plan as a treatment for COVID-19 in March 2020. Advertising on billboards, their websites, and social media, Golden Sunrise falsely claims that the company’s supplements—ImunStem, Aktiffvate, and AnterFeerons—are “uniquely qualified to treat and modify the course of the Coronavirus epidemic in CHINA and other countries,” and that users can expect the “disappearance of viral symptoms within two to four days,” the FTC alleged. The FTC sent Golden Sunrise a letter in April 2020 , warning that it should immediately remove all advertising claims that the products could prevent, treat,

Reports highlight potential issues for consumers Two new staff reports from the Federal Trade Commission highlight some of the challenges and confusion consumers can face in buying and financing a car, particularly relating to charges for add-on items after the initial price negotiation that can lead to them paying more than expected. The reports are based, in part, on a study of auto buyers conducted by the FTC that consisted of in-depth interviews with 38 consumers about the car buying and financing process. A staff report from the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection   (BCP) notes a number of issues that arose in the study, from the advertising that draws consumers in through the entire car buying experience. The BCP report notes that consumers were sometimes not aware of key terms of sales and financing contracts, and it points in particular to issues that potentially keep them from having an accurate picture of the amount they are paying. One issue noted was focusing on monthly pa

Actions brought against four companies target claims made for architectural coatings applied to houses and other buildings The Federal Trade Commission sued four companies that sell paint products used to coat buildings and homes, alleging that they deceived consumers about their products’ insulation and energy-savings capabilities. In complaints filed in federal court, the FTC charged that the companies falsely overstated the R-value ratings of the coatings, making deceptive statements about heat flow and insulating power. “Companies touting the energy-saving properties of their products must have scientific support for their claims,” said Andrew Smith, Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection. “When they don’t, the FTC will step in to make sure they do.” A product’s R-value is a measure of its resistance to heat flow: the higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power. Using R-value and other product information, consumers can improve the energy efficiency of their

In computer science, big O notation is used to classify algorithms according to how their run time or space requirements grow as the input size grows. In analytic number theory, big O notation is often used to express a bound on the difference between an arithmetical function and a better understood approximation.

$ git push -d <remote_name> <branch_name> $ git branch -d <branch_name> Normally the remote name is origin. In most case you'll have to use the command like: $ git push -d origin <branch_name> To delete Local Branch To delete the local branch use one of the following: $ git branch -d branch_name $ git branch -D branch_name The -d option is an alias for --delete, which only deletes the branch if it has already been fully merged in its upstream branch.  By contrast -D, which is an alias for --delete --force, which deletes the branch "irrespective of its merged status." If other machines have the branch, you can run git branch -a to verify. To get rid of the branch on other machines run git fetch --all --prune

More than 86 percent chose to return their car for compensation In a final summary filed in federal court today, the Federal Trade Commission reported that Volkswagen and Porsche repaid a total of more than $9.5 billion since 2016 to car buyers under the FTC’s orders stemming from the companies’ deceptive “clean diesel” advertising of VWs and Audis fitted with illegal emission defeat devices. Given a choice between returning their vehicle to VW or Porsche in exchange for compensation, or having the car modified to comply with clean-air rules, more than 86 percent of those who concluded the claims process chose to return their car through a buyback or early lease termination, the FTC noted in a Final Status Report  filed with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.  “Most important, the FTC orders and related private class settlements provided redress sufficient to compensate consumers fully,” the FTC said in the report. The FTC’s final report to the court mark

There are sensitive data that a playbook needs to operate on, be that for playbook data in the form of variables or storing server credentials themselves, such as an SSH private key.

AWX can provide a complete audit trail to help you find out what happened and when.  AWX can also help with ensuring version control of Ansible playbooks.

Ansible encrypted vaults can be referenced by any playbook, provided the vault password is passed to the playbook when it is run. see https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_vault.html. 

Run the following code from the command line to Gather Facts: $ ansible -m setup localhost

$ ansible-galaxy install -p roles/ goyun.info

Ansible  Roles are by default run from a subdirectory called roles/, in the same directory as your playbook.  Ansible will also search for roles in /etc/ansible/roles and the paths specified by the roles_path parameter in the Ansible configuration file ( such as /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg)

You can use the --user (or -u) flag with ansible-playbook to specify a user to be used across all hosts in the inventory, or you can even use the ansible_user host variable within the inventory itself to specify user accounts on a per-host basis.

To set up SSH agent to avoid retyping passwords, you can do: $ ssh-agent bash $ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

$ ssh-keygen -b 2048 -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa -q -N ''

Using verification ( p ) is generally a good idea if you're new to using the  history  command in production. If you want to verify the command you're about to modify and run, you can use the p modifier at the tail end of a history modification. $ !!:p history The command you see as a result is the expanded item from history, but it hasn't been run yet. You can run it manually, by pressing the Up arrow or Ctrl+P.

0 (Zero) – returns the zeroth word, which is typically the command n – returns the nth word of the selected command ^ – returns the first argument for the command $ – returns the last word, usually an argument * – returns all words except for the zeroth word of the command

To run the last command you used enter: !! You can also run a command that was much earlier in the history list. To do so, enter the following, where n is the line you wish to run: ![n] To run the last command that used a specific string, enter: ![string]

The Federal Trade Commission and Missouri Attorney General have sent warning letters  to two companies that sent mailers to consumers that suggested that they could provide government stimulus money to customers to purchase their hearing aids. The letters highlight claims included in the mailers that implied that consumers were eligible for a government stimulus benefit specifically for the use of buying hearing aids, and that the companies were able to provide that benefit. The mailers included language like “Call Today to Secure Your Stimulus Money. For Stimulus Voucher Appointments, Call Today!” and “CORONA-VIRUS (sic) PANDEMIC HEARING AID STIMULUS PACKAGE ANNOUNCED FOR MISSOURI.” The mailers also included a document designed to look like a $1,000 check made out to the consumer labeled “OFFICIAL AUTHORIZED VOUCHER” and with instructions to endorse it on the back. The letters warn the recipients to cease making all deceptive claims and also instruct them to notify the FTC and State

$ git fsck Checking object directories: 100% (256/256), done. Checking objects: 100% (10060/10060), done.

The ‘git gc’ command helps in collection of garbage from a repository and ensuring optimization of the repository. Users should also ensure that the command is run periodically. The example of using the command is as follows, $ git gc Enumerating objects: 10060, done. Counting objects: 100% (10060/10060), done. Delta compression using up to 8 threads Compressing objects: 100% (1623/1623), done. Writing objects: 100% (10060/10060), done. Total 10060 (delta 4510), reused 9960 (delta 4483)

One major feature of Git is its distributed structure so that the developers can work with an offline copy of the code base. Developers can use Git to manage their code versions over time.  Changes made to the code will incrementally stack up to the existing code creating a new version.  

Git – It’s a well-known DevOps tool used for distributed source code management. Jenkins – This tool is a continuous integration tool that provides running tests on a non-developer machine when new code pushed into the source repository. Docker – Docker is a tool used at the time of its continuous deployment stage of DevOps to achieve containerization of OS and its dependencies.

All these modules are idempotent. Core modules: Core modules play a much greater role than extra modules. They always come with the software. Extra modules: Ansible community maintains such modules. Besides, the modules are reusable. Even though they are the parts of Ansible, you can separate them whenever you need.

$ sudo docker rename goyun goyun_info

Ansible is also a great IT Configuration management tool.

Most of the developers are now trying to automate the development process and production environment.  When it comes to software development, automation plays a significant role. 

The task of collecting this remote system information is called as Gathering Facts by ansible and the details collected are generally known as facts or variables. ansible playbooks call this setup module by default to perform Gathering Facts task. Run the ansible all -m setup command against any host group. ansible all -m setup | tee ansible-facts.txt

In finance, the benefit from an investment is called a return.  The return may consist of a gain (or loss) realized from the sale of a property or an investment, unrealized capital appreciation (or depreciation), or investment income such as dividends, interest, rental income etc., or a combination of capital gain and income. The return may also include currency gains or losses due to changes in the foreign currency exchange rates.

To test that Ansible is able to connect and run commands and playbooks on your nodes, you can use the following command: ansible all -m ping The ping module will test if you have valid credentials for connecting to the nodes defined in your inventory file, in addition to testing if Ansible is able to run Python scripts on the remote server. A pong reply back means Ansible is ready to run commands and playbooks on that node.

ansible-playbook goyun.info.yml --check

There are two options: Force a task to  run in check mode , even when the playbook is called  without   --check . This is called  check_mode:   yes . Force a task to  run in normal mode  and make changes to the system, even when the playbook is called  with   --check . This is called  check_mode:   no .

Linux users can be "system" users or "normal" users.  Regular users typically have UID's at 1000 or higher and are allowed to log into the server. System users often have a user id (UID) below 1000 and cannot be used to login. They are usually used to run programs. For example, users www-data or apache are often used to run web servers. See the file /etc/login.defs to find variables like UID_MIN and UID_MAX set for system vs regular users: # # Min/max values for automatic uid selection in useradd # UID_MIN 1000 UID_MAX 60000 # System accounts SYS_UID_MIN 201 SYS_UID_MAX 999 # # Min/max values for automatic gid selection in groupadd # GID_MIN 1000 GID_MAX 60000 # System accounts SYS_GID_MIN 201 SYS_GID_MAX 999

less /etc/group

Solution: Method 1: Add a file to the /etc/sudoers.d directory on the target machine called goyun with the following contents: goyun ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL Method 2: Run Ansible playbook with -k -K (uppercase). The playbook will prompt for password. ansible-playbook goyun.info.yml -k -K 

Ansible become and become_user both have to be used in a playbook in certain cases where you want your remote user to be non-root.it is more like doing sudo -u someuser before running a task. When you are not defining the become_user and just use become. Ansible will perform the basic sudo and it will execute the corresponding task as root user

You can use python crypt implementation to regenerate Linux password >>> import crypt >>> password="goyun.info" >>> hashing_scheme_with_salt="$6$goyuninfo$" >>> crypt.crypt(password, hashing_scheme_with_salt) '$6$goyuninfo$yLqTuT5hzDWwBOF1ryt82mnbhrTTeMSr25i/6zUDZJIV7o9bMONICzK1/GGtK8RW4QXHF89ZgxjhiDMKZ.fso0' Stored password hash is generated using crypt3.

The password is using the $type$salt$hashed format. $type is the method cryptographic hash algorithm and can have the following values: $1$ – MD5 $2a$ – Blowfish $2y$ – Eksblowfish $5$ – SHA-256 $6$ – SHA-512

/etc/shadow is a text file that contains information about the system’s users’ passwords.  It is owned by user root and group shadow, and has 640 permissions.

To enable a password authentication, you create a password, update the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file, and then restart the SSH service.

Ubuntu stores password content in file /etc/shadow. Along with hashed password this file also stores content like username, password change date, expiry date etc. in colon (:) separated format.  Only root user can write inside this file.

In Linux Passwords are not stored by encrypting with some secret key rather hash of the password is stored.  There is no worry about key getting compromised or the file which actually stores password (Hashed Password) getting stolen. To make storage more secure password are hashed with salt . Salt is just random string which is generated when you create password. This helps prevent rainbow table attacks.
