Define Ansible Production Environment Files

git branch --show-current

Step 1 - Populate Ansible NDFC Inventory File for Production Environment

All of our previous tasks have targeted the staging environment. In this section we need to define how Ansible will reach the NDFC controller to manage the production environment.

Now we need to define the same files but this time for the production environment.

• hosts.prod.yml - This file defines how Ansible will connect to the NDFC controller for the production environment.
• group_vars/prod/fabric.yml - This file defines the fabric configuration for the production environment.
• group_vars/prod/overlay.yml - This file defines the overlay configuration for the production environment.

Create the file and add content to the file using the following commands.

touch /home/cisco/CiscoLive/DEVWKS-3928/hosts.prod.yml
cat << EOF > /home/cisco/CiscoLive/DEVWKS-3928/hosts.prod.yml
