Ansible idempotent MySQL installation Playbook

Question

I want to setup a MySQL server on AWS, using Ansible for the configuration management. I am using the default AMI from Amazon (ami-3275ee5b), which uses yum

Answer 1

The following will Work (Insert my.cnf in between 2 mysql_user calls)

---

- name: 'Install MySQL'
    yum: name={{ item }} state=present
    with_items:
    - MySQL-python
    - mysql
    - mysql-server
    notify:
     - restart-mysql
- name: 'Start Mysql Service'
  action: service name=mysqld state=started enabled=yes
- name: 'Update Mysql Root Password'
  mysql_user: name=root host=localhost password={{ mysql_root_password }} state=present
- name: 'Copy Conf file with root password credentials'
  template: src=../templates/my.cnf.j2 dest=/root/.my.cnf owner=root mode=0600
- name: 'Update Rest-Mysql Root Password'
  mysql_user: name=root host={{ item }} password={{ mysql_root_password }} state=present
    with_items:
    - "{{ ansible_hostname }}"
    - "{{ ansible_eth0.ipv4.address }}"
    - 127.0.0.1
    - ::1
- name: 'Delete anonymous MySQL server user from server'
  mysql_user: name="" host={{ ansible_hostname }} state="absent"
