Ansible Mirror Inventory Project

A reference implementation project is integral to the C2 approach, representing a cornerstone concept alongside the Development Environment .

This project type combines the functionalities of an Ansible Inventory Project and a Vagrant Project , which, as noted by Jeff Geerling in his book Ansible for DevOps , is essential for simulating real-world infrastructure in a local setting.

As a Vagrant project it is used to “mimic real-world infrastructure locally” as Jeff Geerling puts it in his book .

Key examples of these projects include:

• RWS GIS Platform Reference Implementation : Utilizes both Ansible and Vagrant to facilitate a comprehensive GIS platform that “mimics” the GIS Platform of RWS.
• C2 Platform Reference Implementation : Serves as a template for implementing C2 platform standards through Ansible and Vagrant.

TODO

A prime example is the ansible-gis project for the Rijkswaterstaat GIS Platform. It enables local deployment of a complete environment using Ansible collections like c2platform.gis and c2platform.wincore .
