Automate Storage, Users, SELinux, and Scheduled Tasks

This lab covers the most complex RHCSA tasks automated with Ansible. Storage, user management, SELinux, and scheduled tasks are all exam objectives.

You will:

• Create partitions, volume groups, logical volumes, and filesystems with Ansible
• Create users with vault-stored hashed passwords
• Manage SELinux booleans and file contexts with ansible.posix
• Schedule cron jobs with the cron module

Note: The database host (node4) uses a loopback device created by the setup script to simulate a second disk for storage exercises.

Key Resources:

• parted module
• lvg module
