Puppet Manage Archives

Question:  The Nautilus DevOps team has zipped data on all app servers in Stratos DC that they want to extract to all app servers in the same data center. However, they want to extract that data in a different directory in the app servers. Perform the task using a Puppet programming file as per requirements mentioned below:

Create a puppet programming file games.pp under /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/manifests on master node i.e on Jump Server. Using Puppet, archive resource and perform the tasks below:

There is a zip archive /usr/src/games/games.zip on all app servers. Unzip the archive to location /opt/games on each app server.

Note: Please perform this task using games.pp only, do not create any separate inventory file.

Please Note :-  Perform the below commands based on your question  server,  user name & other details might differ . So please read task carefully before executing. All the Best 👍

Solution:  

1. Go through the folder mentioned in task and create puppet files

root@jump_host /# cd /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/manifests/ root@jump_host /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/manifests# ll total 0 root@jump_host /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/manifests# root@jump_host /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/manifests# vi games.pp root@jump_host /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/manifests# cat games.pp class archive_extractor {     # Copy games.zip to /tmp directory to extract and then cleanup afterwards     archive { '/tmp/games.zip':         source        => '/usr/src/games/games.zip',         extract       => true,         extract_path  => '/opt/games',         cleanup       => true,     }   } node 'stapp01.stratos.xfusioncorp.com', 'stapp02.stratos.xfusioncorp.com', 'stapp03.stratos.xfusioncorp.com' {   include archive_extractor } root@jump_host /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/manifests#

2. Validate the puppet files by below command.( refer Video below for clarity )

root@jump_host /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/manifests# puppet parser validate games.pp root@jump_host /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/manifests#

3. Login on all  App server  (stapp01, stapp02, stapp03 ) & switch to root  user 

root@jump_host /# ssh tony@stapp01 The authenticity of host 'stapp01 (172.16.238.10)' can't be established. ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:w9cDRojDoclOxdu1W23Ns2HPyANPrDzhk9VfqtTDoJQ. ECDSA key fingerprint is MD5:a8:3b:55:35:c2:5c:56:76:c8:d0:78:13:7a:4d:8b:e1. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes Warning: Permanently added 'stapp01,172.16.238.10' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts. tony@stapp01's password: [tony@stapp01 ~]$ sudo su - We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:     #1) Respect the privacy of others.     #2) Think before you type.     #3) With great power comes great responsibility. [sudo] password for tony: [root@stapp01 ~]#

4. Run Puppet agent to pull the configuration from puppet server 

[root@stapp01 ~]# puppet agent -tv Info: Using configured environment 'production' Info: Retrieving pluginfacts Info: Retrieving plugin Info: Retrieving locales Info: Loading facts Info: Caching catalog for stapp01.stratos.xfusioncorp.com Info: Applying configuration version '1624860136' Notice: /Stage[main]/Archive_extractor/Archive[/tmp/games.zip]/ensure: download archive from /usr/src/games/games.zip to /tmp/games.zip and extracted in /opt/games with cleanup Notice: Applied catalog in 0.09 seconds [root@stapp01 ~]#

5. Validate the task by listing the destination folder

[root@stapp01 ~]# ll /opt/games/ total 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 33 Jun 28 05:53 games2.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 54 Jun 28 05:53 games.txt [root@stapp01 ~]#

Please Note :- I have showed only for stapp01. 

You have to do this in all app server stapp01,stapp02, stapp03. 

6.  Click on Finish & Confirm to complete the task successful
