In the second part in our provisioning series, we will be learning about Ansible and how to use it to provision a Vagrant machine. The following are the topics we're going to cover in this chapter:
- Understanding Ansible
- Installing Ansible on macOS
- Provisioning Vagrant using Ansible on the host machine
- Provisioning Vagrant using Ansible on the guest machine
- Ansible Playbooks
By the end of this chapter, you will feel confident using Ansible to provision Vagrant machines. You will have a good understanding of how Ansible works and will have links to Vagrant, and will be able to use Ansible on both the host machine and Vagrant machine by using Playbooks to configure exactly what you need.
