Ansible -Vault

 

Ansible Vault

Ansible Vault is a feature of ansible that allows you to keep sensitive data such as passwords or keys in encrypted files, rather than as plaintext in playbooks or roles. These vault files can then be distributed or placed in source control.

Commands

ansible-vault create t.yaml  # To create encrypted files, it will ask password for encryption

cat t.yaml  # it will show encrypted data

ansible-vault edit t.yaml  # To edit the vault file

ansible-vault decrypt t.yaml # To decrypt the file

ansible-vault encrypt t.yaml # To encrypt the file
