→Creat privileged tasks: install and remove rpm package on remote machines
[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 then 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 as there you can configure the sudo module on the remote machine not to asked 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'>
