Configuring Storage with Ansible
Andrew Mallett · Apress eBooks · 2021
There are many items in Linux, as well as many other systems, that we can manage using Ansible. We have concentrated on managing the web server in the demonstrations so far, and I am truly hopeful this has helped your learning of Ansible configuration management. We will now tack differently and take a look at managing the storage subsystem in Linux. We will learn to partition disks, and create logical volumes before creating filesystems and mounting those filesystems. New from CentOS 7.5 is VDO, the Virtual Data Optimizer. Using VDO we can learn how to create volumes that are enabled for compression and data deduplication, and of course this will be managed with Ansible.
