Context
ABC Tech Solutions, a leading provider of cloud infrastructure services, is struggling with the manual management of their dynamic and constantly changing inventory of servers and services across multiple environments. The traditional static inventory approach is proving to be inefficient and prone to errors. To overcome these challenges, ABC Tech Solutions aims to implement a dynamic inventory management system using HashiCorp Consul to automatically discover and manage inventory for Ansible. This project will ensure accurate and up-to-date inventory management, streamline operations, and improve overall infrastructure reliability.

Objectives

• Implement dynamic inventory management using HashiCorp Consul.
• Automatically discover and manage inventory for Ansible.
• Ensure accurate, up-to-date inventory data.
• Streamline infrastructure operations and improve reliability.
• Integrate with Docker and Kubernetes for containerized environments.

Prerequisites

• Intermediate knowledge of Ansible and HashiCorp Consul.
• Basic understanding of Docker and Kubernetes.
• Familiarity with Linux command-line operations.
• Access to the company’s Ansible control node and Consul servers.
• Access to target environments (bare metal, virtual machines, or containers).
