Setting up the HashiCorp Vault and Ansible AAP AWX integration Part-3

 So Now lets start with building the required execution environment to use the collections which we need to execute our play we will required below collections

1.    community.general --> To Generate the Random Password

2. community.hashi_vault --> To interact with the HashiCorp vault

So lets get into the action lets Install the ansible builder don't go for the latest one as you may encounter some issues lets go for the one stable release as of writing the blog the the release version i know id 3.0.1 so i am installing the same 

We are installing pip if already not present and then using pip we are installing the ansible builder

# dnf install python3-pip

# pip install ansible-builder==3.0.1

Once the ansible builder is installed lets create some files like 

Note: EE stands for execution environment

Create a directory call EE and go to that directory

# mkdir EE and cd EE

create a first file execution-environment.yml and add following content:

cat <<EOT >> execution-environment.yml

---

version: 1

dependencies:

  galaxy: requirements.yml

  python: requirements.txt

  system: bindep.txt

additional_build_steps:

  prepend: |

    RUN whoami

    RUN cat /etc/os-release

  append:

    - RUN echo This is a post-install command!

    - RUN ls -la /etc

EOT

Now lets start create the dependencies which we have specified 

cat <<EOT >> requirements.yml

---

collections:

  - name: community.general

  - name: community.hashi_vault

EOT

We have some dependencies for the collections which will specify in the requirements.txt

cat <<EOT >> requirements.txt

gcp-cli

ncclient

netaddr

paramiko

hvac

EOT

If We have some binary dependencies then specify it bindep.txt

cat <<EOT >> bindep.txt

findutils [compile platform:centos-8 platform:rhel-8]

gcc [compile platform:centos-8 platform:rhel-8]

make [compile platform:centos-8 platform:rhel-8]

python39-devel [compile platform:centos-8 platform:rhel-8]

python39-cffi [platform:centos-8 platform:rhel-8]

python39-cryptography [platform:centos-8 platform:rhel-8]

python39-pycparser [platform:centos-8 platform:rhel-8]

EOT 

One we have added everything we will start building the image using command 

ansible-builder build -v3 -t custom-ee 

Once the image is build we can tag the image 

podman tag custom-ee  aap2.example.com/custom-ee

podman push aap2.example.com/custom-ee

Once we have done with this 

Once we are done with this We can start with the building playbook
