⭐ Ansible Lab Setup on CentOS | Control Node + Managed Node (SSH Key Login + Ping Test)

🚀 Welcome back friends! In this video (Day 2 of the Ansible series), we will build a complete Ansible Lab Setup using two CentOS Linux machines: ✅ Ansible Control Node ✅ Ansible Managed Node 🔥 What you’ll learn in this demo: 🔹 Create an admin user on both machines 🔹 Add the user to sudoers (NOPASSWD access) 🔹 Enable SSH password authentication 🔹 Generate SSH keys on the control node 🔹 Copy SSH public key to managed node 🔹 Update Ansible inventory file /etc/ansible/hosts 🔹 Test the connection using: ansible all -m ping 🎯 Final Output You’ll see: ✅ "ping": "pong" Which confirms Ansible is successfully communicating with the managed node. 📌 In the next video, we will start running real Ansible modules and automation tasks. 👍 If this video helped you, don’t forget to Like, Share, and Subscribe 💬 Questions?
