Add the following tasks.

name: Install Nginx

apt:name: nginx

state: present

update_cache: yes

 name: Start Nginx Service

 service:

   name: nginx

   state: started

   enabled: yes

Save the file.

Task 4: Configure Application Server Role

1

Create a playbook

vi site.yml

Add the following content.

 name: Configure ContentSphere Servers

  become: yes

  roles:

    - webserver

    - appserver

Save the file.

Task 6 : Execute Roles

1

Run the playbook.

ansible-playbook -i inventory site.yml

Verify successful execution.

Task 7: Verify Web Server Configuration

Verify Nginx installation

ansible all -i inventory -m command -a "nginx -v"

2

Verify Nginx service.

ansible all -i inventory -m command -a "systemctl is-active apache2"

Task 1: Understanding BRD

Before you start building anything, you need to clearly understand what the client actually wants.So, let’s begin by understanding the BRD (Business Requirement Document) shared by the client.

BRD Full Form is Business Requirement Details.BRD like a plan for building a house. This plan helps the builder understand what to build.In the same way,BRD tells developers what the client wants to build

Click to download BRD : BiteBox_BRD.pdf

Activity

After going through BRD list down the Core Features and  Web Pages in the tabulated Format as shown Below.

Col 1Col 2Col 3
Row 1
Row 2
Row 3

Formula

Profit = Revenue - Cost

Task 2: Create WireFrame

Now that you understand the requirements, don’t jump into coding yet. Before development, we always visualize the layout.

Now lets  create a simple wireframe for the homepage.

A wireframe is like a layout plan of a house. Before building, you decide where rooms, doors, and windows will be placed.Similarly, a wireframe helps you plan where elements like headers, images, and buttons will appear on a webpage—before adding design or colours.

Task 3: Code Editor Installation

Good work on completing the planning phase.

Now we will start development. Before that, make sure your system is ready with the required tools.

In this step we will install the VS code editor that will help to Write code efficiently,Organize files , Run and test your application

Go to the visual studio code official website

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int x = 10;
        int y = 20;
        int sum = x + y;
        
        System.out.println("The sum is: " + sum);
    }
}

public class MathSample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int x = 10;
        int y = 20;
        int sum = x + y;
        
        System.out.println("The sum is: " + sum);
    }
}
