: On matrix, cd to your lab8 directory and create a simple fabric script file named '''fabfile.py''' (this is the default filename used by the fab command when you invoke it without the '-f' optino):
== PART 1: Simplest Non-privileged task example =====Creating Create non-privileged tasks: Getting the hostname of remote machines===
: Add the following contents to the default fabric script called "fabfile.py" in your lab8 directory:<source lang="python">
from fabric.api import *
:You should get used to the above messages from the '''fab''' command. It's a lot of output but it's important to understand where every part is coming from, so you are able to debug problems when they happen.
==PART 2: Privileged Tasks Examples =Creating ====Creat privileged tasks: install and remove rpm package on remote machines===
: Add the following two new functions to the end of the fabric script "fabfile.py" in your lab8 directory:<source lang='bash'>
[raymond.chan@mtrx-node05pd lab8]$
</source>
: If you only need to connect to the same remote machine, you can specify the host and port number in the fabfile.py to save some typing when executing the fab command. Add the following two lines after the env.user line in your fabfile.py:<source lang='bash'>
env.port = '7200' # <-- please replace with the actual value of your VM's port number
env.hosts =['myvmlab.senecacollege.ca']
</source>
: You can also store the user's password in this file so that it will respond to the "sudo password" prompt for sudo() call. It is not safe to do so as you can configure the sudo module on the remote machine not to ask for sudo password.
: Now you can run the fab command without the "--host" and "--port" option.
: Run the following two fab commands, note the results and compare their difference:<source lang='bash'>
fab installPackage
</source>
== Part 2: Set up more administrative tasks== :Let's pretend that we need collect the disk usage on several machines so that we can plan Create remote task for storage maintenance. We'll set up a simple example of such a deployment here. === Getting the disk usage on remote worker =updating rpm packages == :Add a getDiskUsage() new function called "updatePackage" to your fabfile.py fileaccording to the following requirements::* Accept optional function argument as the rpm package name:<source lang="python"># * If no function argument was given when called, default to get all the disk usage on remote workerpackages installeddef getDiskUsage(): The output of the updatePackage when executed, should produce similar output as shown below: current_time :1. Update a single package:<source lang= run('datebash')> diskusage = run('df -H') header = 'Current Disk Usage at '+current_time print(header) print(diskusage)fab updatePackage:tree
