In ansible playbook, i need to run one playbook on different servers, some are VMs and some are bare metal servers, i couldn’t find a good way to distinguish VM rather than the other, any idea in this regard?
What difference to your ansible does it make if a host is a VM or a bare metal machine?
look for values for a virtual
, virtualization_role
, virtualization_type
hardware in ansible_facts . You may collect using ansible setup .
@al1 , Well, there could be many , Below are some I could think of ,
- If the o/s is linux , a
tuned
profile specific to virtual machines ( eg: virtual-guest) - Different I/O scheduling policy on guest such noop or deadline vs cfq on baremetal
- An update or installation of guest-agent etc.
- Kernel config parameters such as huge-pages .
