The purpose of this project is to produce playbooks that Unix BAU teams can use on a daily basis. This project also aims to produce a “roadshow” for Ansible to convince Unix team to use the tools. To attain this, team members need to get the involvement from start. This will form a virtual team in which team members will be involve on creating a playbooks and own the activity themselves.

Currently the team are working to deliver this BAU tasks

• BAU Adhoc tasks - Joseph Tejal
• BAU Handover - Ariel Yumul
• BAU Server Resource Management - Christian Cruz
• User/Account Management - Ian Dennison
• Patch-Management - Michael Calizo

Other Goals:

• To show everyone that even without Ansible formal training - BAU can still come up with fundamental solution to efficiently handle BAU tasks using the tool
• To learn how to use Git repository
• To learn how to use Ansible tower

• c_logs.yml
• c_stats.yml
• c_uptime.yml
• daily.yml
• r_cron.yml
• r_install.yml
• r_script.yml
