CI/CD Pipeline Automation Using Ansible and Jenkins

Introduction

In today’s fast-paced DevOps environment, automation is essential for streamlining software development and deployment. Jenkins, a widely used CI/CD tool, helps automate building, testing, and deployment, while Ansible simplifies infrastructure automation and configuration management. By integrating Ansible with Jenkins, teams can create a fully automated CI/CD pipeline that ensures smooth software delivery with minimal manual intervention.

In this article, we will explore how to automate a CI/CD pipeline using Jenkins and Ansible, from setup to execution.

Why Use Jenkins and Ansible Together?

✅ Jenkins for CI/CD:

Automates code integration, testing, and deployment

Supports plugins for various DevOps tools

Manages complex pipelines with Jenkinsfile

✅ Ansible for Automation:

Agentless configuration management

Simplifies deployment across multiple environments

Uses YAML-based playbooks for easy automation

By integrating Jenkins with Ansible, we can achieve automated deployments, infrastructure provisioning, and configuration management in one streamlined workflow.

Step-by-Step Guide: Integrating Ansible with Jenkins

Step 1: Install Jenkins and Ansible

📌 Install Jenkins on a Linux Server

wget -O /usr/share/keyrings/jenkins-keyring.asc \

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/jenkins-keyring.asc] \

    https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian binary/" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jenkins.list > /dev/null

sudo apt update

sudo apt install jenkins -y

sudo systemctl start jenkins

sudo systemctl enable jenkins

Access Jenkins UI at http://<your-server-ip>:8080

📌 Install Ansible

sudo apt update

sudo apt install ansible -y

ansible --version

Ensure that Ansible is installed and accessible from Jenkins.

Step 2: Configure Jenkins for Ansible

📌 Install Required Jenkins Plugins

Navigate to Jenkins Dashboard → Manage Jenkins → Manage Plugins

Install:

Ansible Plugin

Pipeline Plugin

Git Plugin

📌 Add Ansible to Jenkins Global Tool Configuration

Go to Manage Jenkins → Global Tool Configuration

Under Ansible, define the installation path (/usr/bin/ansible)

Step 3: Create an Ansible Playbook for Deployment

Example Playbook: Deploying a Web Application

📄 deploy.yml

---

- name: Deploy Web Application

  hosts: web_servers

  become: yes

  tasks:

    - name: Install Apache

      apt:

        name: apache2

        state: present

    - name: Start Apache

      service:

        name: apache2

        state: started

        enabled: yes

    - name: Deploy Application Code

      copy:

        src: /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/app/

        dest: /var/www/html/

This playbook: ✅ Installs Apache ✅ Starts the web server ✅ Deploys the application code

Step 4: Create a Jenkins Pipeline for CI/CD

📄 Jenkinsfile (Declarative Pipeline)

pipeline {

    agent any

    stages {

        stage('Clone Repository') {

            steps {

                git 'https://github.com/your-repo/app.git'

            }

        }

        stage('Build') {

            steps {

                sh 'echo "Building Application..."'

            }

        }

        stage('Deploy with Ansible') {

            steps {

                ansiblePlaybook credentialsId: 'ansible-ssh-key',

                    inventory: 'inventory.ini',

                    playbook: 'deploy.yml'

            }

        }

    }

}

This Jenkins pipeline: ✅ Clones the repository ✅ Builds the application ✅ Deploys using Ansible

Step 5: Trigger the CI/CD Pipeline

Go to Jenkins Dashboard → New Item → Pipeline

The Role of Automation in DevOps: Beyond CI/CD

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) & Configuration Management in DevOps Automation

In modern DevOps practices, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Configuration Management play a vital role in automating infrastructure provisioning, scaling, and maintenance. These practices help teams manage complex environments efficiently while ensuring consistency, scalability, and security.

1. Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Automating Infrastructure Provisioning

What is IaC?

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is a practice that allows developers to define and manage infrastructure through code, rather than manual processes. This ensures consistency, repeatability, and scalability across environments.

Benefits of IaC:

✅ Eliminates Manual Configuration Errors — Reduces human intervention and mistakes. ✅ Speeds Up Deployments — Automates provisioning of servers, databases, and networking. ✅ Enhances Scalability — Dynamically provisions and scales infrastructure as needed. ✅ Improves Disaster Recovery — Infrastructure can be rebuilt quickly using stored configurations.

Popular IaC Tools:

Terraform — Cloud-agnostic tool for defining infrastructure using declarative syntax.

AWS CloudFormation — AWS-specific IaC tool for automating cloud resource creation.

Pulumi — Uses familiar programming languages (Python, TypeScript, Go) for infrastructure automation.

Azure Resource Manager (ARM) — Automates infrastructure deployment on Azure.

Example: Terraform Script for Provisioning an EC2 Instance in AWS

hprovider "aws" { region = "us-east-1" }resource "aws_instance" "example" { ami = "ami-0c55b159cbfafe1f0" # Replace with a valid AMI ID instance_type = "t2.micro" tags = { Name = "MyTerraformInstance" } }

This Terraform script provisions an EC2 instance in AWS, ensuring consistency across multiple deployments.

2. Configuration Management: Automating System Configurations

What is Configuration Management?

Configuration Management (CM) automates the setup and maintenance of software, ensuring all systems are configured consistently and correctly across different environments.

Why is Configuration Management Important?

✅ Ensures Consistency — Standardizes configurations across all servers. ✅ Simplifies Updates & Patching — Automates software updates and system changes. ✅ Enhances Security — Ensures systems comply with security policies. ✅ Enables Faster Disaster Recovery — Quickly restores failed configurations.

Popular Configuration Management Tools:

Ansible — Agentless automation tool using YAML playbooks.

Chef — Uses Ruby-based recipes for system automation.

Puppet — Declarative automation for large-scale environments.

SaltStack — High-speed, event-driven automation.

Example: Ansible Playbook to Install Apache on a Server

yaml- name: Install Apache Web Server hosts: web_servers become: yes tasks: - name: Install Apache apt: name: apache2 state: present - name: Start Apache Service service: name: apache2 state: started

This Ansible playbook installs and starts Apache on a group of web servers automatically.

3. Best Practices for Implementing IaC & Configuration Management

✅ Use Version Control (Git, GitHub, GitLab) — Store infrastructure code in repositories for tracking changes. ✅ Follow the DRY Principle (Don’t Repeat Yourself) — Reuse modules and scripts to reduce duplication. ✅ Implement Security Best Practices — Avoid hardcoded credentials; use secrets management tools (e.g., AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault). ✅ Test Infrastructure Code (Terraform Plan, Ansible Dry Run) — Validate configurations before deployment. ✅ Integrate with CI/CD Pipelines — Automate infrastructure provisioning as part of DevOps workflows.

Conclusion

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Configuration Management are essential components of DevOps automation beyond CI/CD. By implementing IaC tools like Terraform and Cloud Formation and Configuration Management tools like Ansible and Chef, teams can achieve faster, more reliable, and scalable infrastructure management.

Ansible Là Gì? Cách Cài Đặt Ansible trên Ubuntu 22.04

Ansible là một công cụ tự động hóa mã nguồn mở mạnh mẽ, đơn giản và dễ học. Nó được sử dụng để tự động hóa việc cấu hình và quản lý hệ thống, triển khai ứng dụng và nhiều tác vụ khác. Ansible giúp giảm thiểu công sức và thời gian cần thiết để quản lý một số lượng lớn máy chủ, từ vài máy đến hàng nghìn máy.

Tại sao Ansible lại phổ biến?

Ansible có nhiều ưu điểm khiến nó trở thành một lựa chọn phổ biến trong giới DevOps:

Đơn giản: Ansible sử dụng cú pháp YAML đơn giản và dễ đọc, giúp người dùng dễ dàng viết các playbook (tập lệnh của Ansible).

Không cần cài đặt tác nhân: Ansible không yêu cầu cài đặt bất kỳ tác nhân nào trên các máy chủ được quản lý, giúp đơn giản hóa quá trình cài đặt và bảo trì.

Mạnh mẽ: Ansible có khả năng tự động hóa nhiều tác vụ phức tạp, từ cấu hình hệ thống đến triển khai ứng dụng.

Linh hoạt: Ansible có thể được sử dụng để quản lý nhiều loại hệ điều hành và nền tảng khác nhau.

Cộng đồng lớn: Ansible có một cộng đồng người dùng lớn và tích cực, cung cấp nhiều tài liệu, hướng dẫn và module (thành phần mở rộng của Ansible) hữu ích.

Cách Ansible hoạt động

Ansible hoạt động dựa trên nguyên tắc "push-based", nghĩa là nó kết nối đến các máy chủ được quản lý và thực hiện các tác vụ được chỉ định trong playbook. Ansible sử dụng SSH để kết nối đến các máy chủ, do đó yêu cầu duy nhất là máy chủ quản lý (nơi cài đặt Ansible) có thể kết nối SSH đến các máy chủ được quản lý.

Cài đặt Ansible trên Ubuntu 22.04

Để cài đặt Ansible trên Ubuntu 22.04, bạn có thể thực hiện theo các bước sau:

Cập nhật danh sách gói:Bash sudo apt update

Cài đặt các gói phụ thuộc:Bash sudo apt install software-properties-common

Thêm kho lưu trữ Ansible PPA:Bash sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ansible/ansible

Cập nhật lại danh sách gói:Bash sudo apt update

Cài đặt Ansible:Bash sudo apt install ansible

Kiểm tra cài đặt:Bash ansible --version Nếu bạn thấy thông tin về phiên bản Ansible, nghĩa là bạn đã cài đặt thành công.

Cấu hình Ansible

Sau khi cài đặt Ansible, bạn cần cấu hình nó để có thể quản lý các máy chủ. Hai thành phần quan trọng cần cấu hình là:

Inventory: File chứa danh sách các máy chủ được quản lý.

Playbook: File chứa các tập lệnh tự động hóa.

1. Inventory

File inventory mặc định của Ansible nằm tại /etc/ansible/hosts. Bạn có thể tạo một file inventory mới hoặc sử dụng file mặc định.

Ví dụ, để quản lý hai máy chủ có địa chỉ IP là 192.168.1.10 và 192.168.1.20, bạn có thể thêm chúng vào file inventory như sau:

Ini, TOML[webservers] 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.20

Bạn cũng có thể nhóm các máy chủ lại với nhau:

Ini, TOML[webservers] 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.20 [databases] 192.168.1.30

2. Playbook

Playbook là một file YAML chứa các tập lệnh tự động hóa. Ví dụ, để cài đặt Apache trên hai máy chủ webservers, bạn có thể tạo một playbook có tên install_apache.yml như sau:

YAML--- - hosts: webservers become: true tasks: - name: Cài đặt Apache apt: name: apache2 state: present

Để chạy playbook này, bạn sử dụng lệnh sau:

Bashansible-playbook install_apache.yml

Kết luận

Ansible là một công cụ tự động hóa mạnh mẽ và dễ sử dụng, giúp đơn giản hóa việc quản lý và cấu hình hệ thống. Hy vọng bài viết này đã giúp bạn hiểu rõ hơn về Ansible và cách cài đặt nó tr��n Ubuntu 22.04.

HTTPD

httpd stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol Daemon. It is a software program, or server, that handles the serving of web pages over the HTTP protocol. Most commonly, it refers to the Apache HTTP Server (apache2), one of the most widely used web servers.

Here’s what httpd does:

Web Server Functionality: It listens for incoming HTTP requests from web browsers or clients and responds with the requested resources, such as HTML pages, images, or other content.

Daemon: The term "daemon" refers to a background service that runs on a server. httpd works continuously, waiting for requests and serving them without requiring constant user intervention.

Apache HTTP Server: The most common httpd is Apache's web server software, which is responsible for serving static content (like HTML) as well as dynamic content generated by applications (using technologies like PHP, Python, or others).

Key Features of httpd (Apache HTTP Server):

Configuration: It can be configured using the httpd.conf file, where administrators can set parameters like port numbers, security rules, directories, etc.

Extensibility: Apache supports modules that extend its capabilities, such as SSL/TLS encryption (with mod_ssl), URL rewriting (mod_rewrite), and more.

Virtual Hosts: Apache can handle multiple websites (virtual hosts) on a single server, making it a powerful choice for shared hosting environments.

Basic Command (Linux):

To start the httpd service: sudo systemctl start httpd

To stop the httpd service: sudo systemctl stop httpd

To restart the service (after making changes to configuration): sudo systemctl restart httpd

httpd is essential for delivering web content and is a cornerstone of the internet's infrastructure.
