Page Not Applicable Figure 1-1 |
In the tasks section, the name ‘Install config file’ has the following statement: “notify: restart nginx” but in the handlers section, the name is “notify nginx”. The name of the handler should probably be changed to match the notify directive. Note from the Author or Editor: |

Page n/a Chapter 2, Example 2-9. playbooks/webservers-tls.yml |
A task to enable the web server configuration, by linking /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default to /etc/nginx/sites-available/default (or "{{ conf_file }}"), is omitted from playbooks/webservers-tls.yml. If the reader has run webservers.yml and webservers2.yml playbooks from earlier in the chapter then this isn't an issue, but if not, or the Vagrant VM has since been destroyed, the playbook will fail to fully-configure the web server.

The example at 10-29 and 10-30 differs but also it says that the objetive is ¨If all we want to do is get upgraded VMs back to the load-balancer cluster, the play will look a bit different". Accordingly to Ansible documentation, this is not true since: Note from the Author or Editor: |
