Question

Drag and Drop Question A DevOps engineer is constructing an Ansible playbook to deploy a containerized application via Docker. This playbook must conform to these requirements:

Run against the production_hosts group of hosts as defined in the Ansible inventory file.
Must pull the latest my application Docker image from the my_repository registry on the Docker Hub registry.
Must give the container a name of my_container.

Drag and drop the code snippets from the bottom onto the boxes in the code to construct an Ansible playbook to fulfill the requirements. Not all options are used.

---
- name: Deploy container
 hosts: <BLANK_1>
 tasks:
 - name: Update container with latest if necessary
 <BLANK_2>:
 name: <BLANK_3>
 image: <BLANK_4>
 pull: true
 state: started

Snippets to drag:

community.general.lxc_container
my_repository/my_application:latest
community.general.docker_container
my_repository/my_application[latest]
hosts: production_hosts
my_container

Explanation

Approach. BLANK_1 = 'production_hosts': The 'hosts:' key is already present in the template, so only the inventory group name fills the blank. BLANK_2 = 'community.general.docker_container': This is the correct Ansible module for managing Docker containers; 'community.general.lxc_container' is for Linux Containers (LXC), not Docker. BLANK_3 = 'my_container': The 'name' parameter under the module sets the container's name as required. BLANK_4 = 'my_repository/my_application:latest': Docker Hub image references use the format 'registry/image:tag' with a colon before the tag - 'my_repository/my_application[latest]' uses invalid bracket syntax and would fail. The snippet 'hosts: production_hosts' is a distractor because 'hosts:' is already written in the playbook template.

Concept tested. Ansible playbook structure for Docker container management using the community.general.docker_container module, including correct Docker image tag syntax (colon notation) and proper host group targeting from an Ansible inventory.
