note2. no need to create ssh-keygen for access, its pre-defined
note3. SELinux is in enforcing mode and firewalld is disabled/stop on whole managed hosts.

Use Ansible Galaxy with a requirements file called /home/admin/ansible/roles/
install.yml to download and install roles to /home/admin/ansible/roles from the
following URLs:
http:// classroom.example.com /role1.tar.gz The name of this role should be balancer
http:// classroom.example.com /role2.tar.gz The name of this role should be phphello
Create a role called sample-apache in /home/sandy/ansible/roles that enables and starts httpd, enables and starts the firewall and allows the webserver service. Create a template called index.html.j2 which creates and serves a message from /var/www/html/index.html Whenever the content of the file changes, restart the webserver service.
Welcome to [FQDN] on [IP]
Replace the FQDN with the fully qualified domain name and IP with the ip address of the node using ansible facts. Lastly, create a playbook in /home/sandy/ansible/ called apache.yml and use the role to serve the index file on webserver hosts.
Create a file in /home/sandy/ansible/ called report.yml. Using this playbook, get a file called report.txt (make it look exactly as below). Copy this file over to all remote hosts at /root/report.txt. Then edit the lines in the file to provide the real information of the hosts. If a disk does not exist then write NONE.
Create a jinja template in /home/sandy/ansible/ and name it hosts.j2. Edit this file so it looks like the one below. The order of the nodes doesn't matter. Then create a playbook in /home/sandy/ansible called hosts.yml and install the template on dev node at /root/myhosts

Install the RHEL system roles package and create a playbook called timesync.yml that:
--> Runs over all managed hosts.
--> Uses the timesync role.
--> Configures the role to use the time server 192.168.10.254 ( Hear in redhat lab
use "classroom.example.com" )
--> Configures the role to set the iburst parameter as enabled.
