RHIS-code

This repository is intended to contain ansible automation code. All documents are stored on docs.

The goal of this project is to build a Red Hat based environment by an enterprise ready approach an opinionated Red Hat infrastructure that implements several Standard Operating Environments for Red Hat Enterprise Linux using Red Hat Management tools (Red Hat Infrastructure Standard Adoption Model).

The Red Hat Infrastructure Standard (RH-IS) RHIS Builder is a framework for using integrated Red Hat technologies to build, manage, automate, optimize, and maintain Red Hat Enterprise Linux at scale in a hybrid multi-cloud. One of the fundamental principles of the RH-ISAM is to strive towards everything as code. The goal is repeatability, consistency, and stability and being modular.

Advantages of implementing the Red Hat Infrastructure Standard

The Red Hat Infrastructure Standard is an opinionated framework for the deployment, configuration, and use of:

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux
• Red Hat Identity Management
• Red Hat Satellite
• Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform
• Red Hat Build of Keycloak

It leverages the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console to deploy, patch, maintain, secure, automate and ensure compliance of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems across a Hybrid Multi-cloud environment.

GitOps practices are used in the process to define the desired states and conduct tests on management infrastructure and managed systems through an infrastructure-as-code pipeline.

There are also external tools used to to simulate integration points such as

• Self hosted GitHub Runner
• RootCA based on OpenSSL

Where to Start

Current RHIS-code consumes RHIS-inventory repository for the credentials and configurable variables. Duplicate RHIS-inventory repository as your own inventory to use if you plan to deploy environment on your own and update definitions based on your own.

First you can initialize your local environment by running landscape_init.yml. This playbook will create an SSH Key pair and configuration for the generic SSH that enables access using Bastion. SSH public key will encrypted and pushed to the inventory repository.

ansible-playbook -i rhis-inventory/inventory.yml rhis-code/playbooks/landscape_init.yml --ask-vault-pass -e init_environment_set=true

landscape_site.yml is the main Ansible playbook to trigger everything from scratch for a Big Bang.

ansible-playbook -i rhis-inventory/inventory.yml rhis-code/playbooks/landscape_site.yml --ask-vault-pass
