     24'''Your goal in this tutorial is to fetch a parameterized URL on each node of your slicelet:'''

     27
     28We will work up to this goal through hands-on learning with Ansible.

    4858First create a starter Ansible playbook.  Recall that a playbook is a YAML file containing a list of Ansible commands.  Copy the following into a file called lab.yaml:

    6676'''Pro Tip:''' Solve the problem on one node in your slice first, then deploy your solution to the remaining nodes.  One thing at a time

    68 Now, think about how you are going to solve the problems of this tutorial.  Recall that your goal is to fetch a parameterized URL on each node of your slicelet:

    7280For instance, the IP address visible inside the slicelet (as reported in the variable ''ansible_eth0.ipv4.address'') is a private address -- it is not the control address of the host, which is one piece of information you want.  There are a number of ways that you could discover the control address, including running '''dig +short''' on the host’s name (see if you can find a variable that contains this; HINT: you need it to SSH into the slicelet) or by running '''curl''' against a webserver that reports the client’s externally visible address.
