09 Ghost Operations – The Final Blades

Sysadmins.
DevOps.
Developers.
Operators in different uniforms.

08 Objective: Encrypt the Silence – Ansible Vault

Ghosts know that secrets are critical.
You can’t let them sit or travel in plain text.
Ansible Vault is the blade of the Operator.

Write once.
Execute unlimited.
The Ghost Ops way.

Variables – loaded.
Templates – locked.
Tasks – trained.
Playbooks – executing.

Roles – fixed directory structures of Ansible code.

Variables – loaded.
Templates – locked.
Tasks – trained.

Ghosts may notice – we’re flying low with plain text variables – for now.

Logic and data separated.
Variables are loaded.

Dynamic configuration files? Templates are your blades – fed by variables.

They support logic.
Loops.
Conditionals.

Ghosts don’t over-complicate.
Clarity keeps templates sharp.

Hostnames.
Network addresses.
Ports.
Filenames.

They change.
They’re variables.
