Hi Drew,
I appreciate your reply . The customer requirement is the secret key should
be on ansible controller and the vms /endpoints logs are copied to the
controller and encryption is done on the controller I explored copy
module has a encrypt option which can help out in the process . But for
the decryption i will need to use ansible-vault .
---
- hosts: localhost
gather_facts: false
vars_prompt:
name: vault_secret
prompt: Please enter the password to encrypt the file
default: v3rys3cr3t
private: true
vars:
vault_file: secret.log
tasks:
- name: In-place (re)encrypt file {{ vault_file }}
ansible.builtin.copy:
content: "{{ lookup('ansible.builtin.file', vault_file) |
ansible.builtin.vault(vault_secret) }}"
dest: "{{ vault_file }}"
decrypt: false
Thanks
Deepak B Kumar
