AWS using Ansible? Yes, it's possible!

  Although, I've used Ansible extensively for a lot of automation and orchestration tasks, using Ansible for AWS was indeed, a new territory for me.  This turned out to be a blessing, since along with using Ansible for AWS tasks, I also learnt how to use WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) on a Windows machine. Though WSL's been around for some time, I still hadn't come around to using it since I was mostly using my Macbook pro. Not anymore, though!  Anyway, I have listed below the steps to: Install WSL on Windows 11 23H2 patch Install AWS CLI on Ubuntu 22.04 (Exact version - 22.04.3 LTS) Install Ansible and the amazon.aws collection Use AWS CLI to get the list of  VPCs in the region - us-east-1 (or a region of your choice) Create a python file/script to get the list of VPCs in the region - us-east-1 (or a region of your choice) Create an Ansible playbook to get the list of VPCs in the region - us-east-1 (or a region of your choice.   You may download the comple...

Find the number of CPUs and RAM size in UNIX

I have tried to collate commands to find the number of CPUs and total physical memory (RAM) size in all common flavours of UNIX in one blog entry. This certainly is not an exhaustive list and will be modified as and when I find new commands. You are also more than welcome to add to this list.



Number of CPUs



Sun SPARC Solaris


1. prtconf | grep cpu | wc -l


2. psrinfo | wc -l


3. psrinfo -v | grep "Status of" | wc -l


4. psrinfo -vp


5. prtdiag | grep "on-line" | wc -l


6. mpstat | grep -vi cpu | wc -l




Linux


1. grep "processor"/proc/cpuinfo | wc -l




HP-UX


1. ioscan -kfnC processor | grep "processor" | wc -l


2. sar -M 1 | awk 'END {print NR-5}'


3. sar -Mu 1 1 | awk 'END {print NR-5}'


4. ioscan -kf | grep -c processor


5. cat /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log | grep processor | grep "vmunix" | wc -l



AIX


1. lscfg -vp | grep proc | wc -l


2. lparstat -i | grep "Online Virtual CPUs" | cut -d ':' -f2


3. lsdev -C | grep Process | wc -l


4. lsdev -Ccprocessor | grep -ci available




Total Physical Memory (RAM) Size


Solaris


1. prtdiag | grep "Memory size" | cut -d ':' -f2

2. prtconf | grep "Memory size" | cut -d ':' -f2


Linux

1. echo "$(free -mt | grep "Mem:" | awk '{print $2}' | tr -d [:space:]) MB"

or

free -mt | grep "Mem:" | awk '{print $2}' | tr -d [:space:];echo " MB"

2. grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo | cut -d ':' -f2


HP-UX

1. echo "selclass qualifier memory;info;wait;infolog" | /usr/sbin/cstm | grep "Total Configured Memory" | cut -d ':' -f2

2. echo "$(grep Physical /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log | awk '{print $7}') KB"


AIX

1. echo "$(lsattr -El mem0 | grep "Total" | awk '{print $2}') MB"

2. lsattr -El mem0 | grep "Total" | awk '{print $2}'; echo " MB"
