Question 1

What does this Ansible deployment lab cover?

Accepted Answer

This lab requires you to write Ansible playbooks to install and configure Apache on a Linux host. You'll use modules like apt, service, template, and file to achieve a fully automated, idempotent deployment.

Question 2

How long does the Ansible web server lab take?

Accepted Answer

The lab is designed for 55 minutes. This includes writing the playbook, configuring Apache, managing handlers, and validating the deployment with automated checks.

Question 3

What Ansible experience is required?

Accepted Answer

This lab targets mid-level engineers. You should be familiar with Ansible playbook structure, common modules (apt, service, template), handlers, and variable management.

Question 4

How is the deployment validated?

Accepted Answer

Automated validation commands check that Apache is installed and running, the web page is accessible on the correct port, configuration files have proper permissions, and the playbook is idempotent.

Question 5

Can I use Ansible roles instead of inline tasks?

Accepted Answer

You can structure your playbook as you prefer. The validation focuses on the end result — a working Apache deployment with correct configuration, permissions, and idempotent execution.
