1. add montreal and quebec to hosts file

---

[montreal]
ansiblemaster
ansible1

[quebec]
ansible2

2. create group_vars folder with montreal and quebec

---

group_vars/montreal

ntp_server1: 2.pool.ntp.org
ntp_server2: 3.pool.ntp.org
dns_server: 8.8.8.8


group_vars/quebec

ntp_server1: 0.pool.ntp.org
ntp_server2: 1.pool.ntp.org
dns_server: 8.8.4.4

3. take hardcoded files from files and put them in templates

---

templates/ntp.conf.j2

driftfile /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift

server {{ ntp_server1 }}
server {{ ntp_server2 }}


templates/resolv.conf.j2

; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script
search us-west-2.compute.internal
nameserver {{ dns_server }}

4. change copy modules for template in common role

---

- name: Configuration fichier ntp.conf - TEMPLATE
  template: backup=yes src=ntp.conf.j2 dest=/etc/ntp.conf owner=root group=root mode=0644
  notify: Restart ntpd

- name: Configuration fichier resolv.conf - TEMPLATE
  template: backup=yes src=resolv.conf.j2 dest=/etc/resolv.conf owner=root group=root mode=0644
