Common Playbook

The common.yml Playbook

This role will create two machines, a CT and a VM, each configured to use DHCP in one single play. It will demonstrate how to use the cloudcodger.proxmox_client.add_guest_host role for PVE clusters with a large number of guest machines, that would cause the inventory plugin with want_facts enabled, to take longer than acceptable.

Objective:

• Create a CT and a VM.
• Have both use DHCP to obtain an IP address.
• Use cloudcodger.proxmox_client.add_guest_host to inject the new hosts into the inventory.
• Configure the machines in the same playbook.
