Ansible Windows with Openstack - RIT-GCI-CyberRange/Openstack-Guides GitHub Wiki

Create your VMs using a command like so: openstack server create --flavor xlarge --image WinSrv2019-17763-2022 --boot-from-volume 250 --user-data openstack-cloudint.yml --nic net-id=8051145a-2de0-4a29-a5ab-9f1e13a68ca9,v4-fixed-ip=192.168.56.10 --key-name deployment DC01

Details of this command:

• --boot-from-volume is the size in GB of the root disk
• --userdata is this file in the current path: prepare-windows-for-ansible
• --nic net-id is the UUID of the network you created, it can be found under the network information v4-fixed-ip= is the fixed IP within the network subnet
• --key-name is the key-pair you have in openstack that you use in linux

Create a jump box into the network and use it to deploy to your local windows machines. The username and password the script created is called ansible

Here is a example script in Ansible to create three servers, make sure to "source openrc.sh" file to login first

If you want to attach your openstack-toolbox to the corp network, you can run the command

openstack server add fixed ip openstack-toolbox corp
