Ansible Rulebooks Simple declarative decisions through rules - name: Automatic Remediation of a web server hosts: all sources: - name: listen for alerts ansible.eda.alertmanager: host: 0.0.0.0 port: 8000 rules: - name: restart web server condition: event.alert.labels.job == "fastapi" and event.alert.status == "firing" action: run_playbook: name: ansible.eda.start_app ▸ Events are processed by a rules engine ▹ Rules trigger based on conditions and actions can be carried out by the rules engine ▹ Rules are organized into Ansible Rulebooks ▹ Ansible rules can apply to events occurring on specific hosts or groups ▸ Conditional management of actions to events ▹ Simple YAML structure for logical conditions ▹ Events can trigger different types of actions: ■ Run Ansible Playbooks ■ Run Modules ■ Post new events to the event handler ▸ YAML-like format familiarity ▹ Current Ansible users quickly learn and use Rulebook writing 4
