Accelerating Ansible Provisioning with FME Flow using Ansible Tags

Enhance the efficiency of your Ansible provisioning by leveraging the power of tags.

Tags:

Projects: c2platform/rws/ansible-gis , c2platform.wincore , c2platform.gis

This guide demonstrates how to expedite Ansible provisioning using tags. Tasks within Ansible roles, which are part of the C2 Platform Ansible Collections , adhere to the tagging scheme outlined in the guideline Enhancing Ansible Playbooks with Tags .

Prerequisites

Ensure you have completed the following prerequisite:

Setting Up FME Flow with Ansible: Set up the FME Flow Core, FME Flow Database, and FME Flow System Share on MS Windows using Ansible.

Provision

Provision the node, assuming it’s already up-to-date, by executing the following command:

ansible-playbook plays/gis/fme.yml -i hosts.ini --limit gsd-fme-core

The play might take several minutes to complete, approximately over 4.5 minutes depending on your hardware, as it checks for the desired state of a previously provisioned node. The run might conclude with a play recap as shown below, indicating that 250 tasks were executed, with 106 tasks skipped.

PLAY RECAP *********************************************************************
gsd-fme-core               : ok=240  changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=0    skipped=106  rescued=0    ignored=0

List Tasks

With the gsd-fme-core provisioned and operational, you can use the --list-tasks option to review all tasks and their tags.

ansible-playbook plays/gis/fme.yml -i hosts.ini --limit gsd-fme-core --list-tasks

In the Ansible GIS inventory project c2platform/rws/ansible-gis , this command outputs the results for four plays. We are primarily interested in the final play as we are using --limit gsd-fme-core.

Provision with Tags

To accelerate the provisioning process and focus on specific tasks like configuration, you can skip tasks tagged with install or system by using:

ansible-playbook plays/gis/fme.yml -i hosts.ini --limit gsd-fme-core --skip-tags install,system

Below are examples of task filtering using tags:

Tags	Tasks	Duration	Description
``	240	≈ 4:40	Run all provisioning tasks.
`--skip-tags install,system`	27	≈ 0:30	Exclude tasks tagged as `install` or `system`, focusing on tasks tagged as `config` and `application`.¹
`--skip-tags install,system,tomcat`	17	≈ 0:20	Same as above with the additional exclusion of Tomcat tasks.
`--tags fme_flow`	45	≈ 0:30	Run tasks specifically tagged with `fme_flow`.
`--tags fme_flow --skip-tags install`	11	≈ 0:12	Run FME Flow application configuration tasks only.
`--tags fme_flow --skip-tags cacerts2`	27	≈ 0:20	Run FME Flow application installation and configuration tasks, skipping certificate tasks.

Note:

When using --tags or --skip-tags with multiple tags, an implicit “or” condition applies. For instance, --tags config,fme_flow results in tasks with either config or fme_flow tags being executed. To specifically target config tasks within fme_flow, use --tags fme_flow --skip_tags install.

Footnotes

As per the C2 Platform tagging guidelines outlined in Enhancing Ansible Playbooks with Tags , tasks are assigned tags based on install or config, and system or application, so if you “skip” install or system this implies you “include” config “and” application. ↩︎
