Ansible Playbook Execution on Linux

This is a sample component that demonstrates how to download and execute an Ansible playbook during an image build. It installs ansible-core with dnf, so it targets Amazon Linux 2023 and other dnf-based distributions.

Walkthrough

1. Upload the playbook.yml file to an S3 bucket.
2. Within the component.yml document, update the DownloadPlaybook step with the S3 path where you uploaded playbook.yml.
3. Create a new Image Builder component with the contents of component.yml.
4. Add the component to an image recipe that targets Amazon Linux 2023.
5. Use the image recipe to create an image, either directly or with an image pipeline.

CloudFormation Template

A sample CloudFormation template called cloudformation.yml is also provided.

1. Upload the playbook.yml file to an S3 bucket as in step 1 above.
2. Within the cloudformation.yml file, update the DownloadPlaybook step with the S3 path where you uploaded playbook.yml.
3. Deploy the CloudFormation template, then continue from step 4 above.
