Environment presets

[chavezdf]

Questions:
-It is important to know how control node and remote nodes are preset.
-All remote nodes should have the same root password? All these commands will been executed by root on remote hosts, because automation user has not been created yet. Does root user on remote nodes should be configured passwordless?
-Why you use sudo instead of using -u root -k?
-First you should add the inventory hosts in known_hosts, because always request validation, unless you deactivate this first. Did you?

sudo ansible all -m user -a "name=automation password={{ 'devops' | password_hash('sha512', 'salt')}}"
sudo ansible all -m authorized_key -a "key={{ lookup('file', '/home/automation/.ssh/id_rsa.pub') }} user=automation"
sudo ansible all -m copy -a 'content="automation ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL" dest=/etc/sudoers.d/automation'

I wish I saw this sooner. I was troubleshooting for awhile. I had to make sure root's public key was copied to each remote host in my home lab. Hopefully this is already done when I take the test -- I don't know how to run ansible ad hoc command to do this if root does not have key already copied.
