Check if service exists with Ansible

Question

I have an Ansible playbook for deploying a Java app as an init.d daemon.

Being a beginner in both Ansible and Linux I\'m having trouble to conditionally execute task

Answer 1

My few cents. The same approach as above but for kubernetes

Check if kublete service is running

- name: "Obtain state of kublet service"
  command: systemctl status kubelet.service
  register: kubelet_status
  failed_when: kubelet_status.rc > 3

Display debug message if kublet service is not running

- debug:
    msg: "{{ kubelet_status.stdout }}"
  when: "'running' not in kubelet_status.stdout"
