Suppose you’re using ansible to configure the production environment and your playbook uses an encrypted file. Encrypted files prompt the user to enter passwords. But since ansible is used for automation, can this process be automated?
Answer Posted / Amit Kumar Rajvanshi
Yes, Ansible Vault can be used to encrypt sensitive data like passwords within playbooks and inventory files. You can automate the decryption process by providing a vault password through environment variables or using a password file with appropriate permissions.
