Exercise 06: Installation of DIPS Configuration Server

DIPS Configuration Server

In this exercise the goal is to install DIPS Configuration Server on the Windows box and configure it to reach the Linux (Zookeeper) box in the same inventory.

1) Create a role named DotnetFramework462 with a task that installs Dotnet Framework 4.6.2, a requirement for DIPS Configuration Server. Add the role to Appserver.yaml.

hint: Package URL. The package requires a reboot, so have win_update handy.

2) Update the role ConfigurationServer with tasks/main.yaml and write the task for installing the chocolatey package for DIPS Configuration Server, using the started variable set in defaults/main.yaml.

3) Write a task that verifies the health-endpoint for the installed DIPS Configuration Server.

4) Add the role ConfigurationServer to Appserver.yaml
