In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning. Code words in the text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "If SSH key sharing is not available Ansible also offers the option to ask for a password using the --ask-become-pass command-line argument."
A block of code is set as follows:
# File name: hellodevopsworld.yml
---
- hosts: all
tasks:
- shell: echo "hello DevOps world"
When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:
[databaseservers]
mydbserver105.example.org
mydbserver205.example.org
[webservers]
mywbserver105.example.org
mywbserver205.example.org
Any command-line input or output is written as follows:
$ sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ansible/ansible
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install ansible
New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "To install the Ansible plugin. simply navigate to Plugin Manager (as a Jenkins administrator) and select Ansible plugin from the Available plugins tab and install the plugin."
