SPIKE - Wazuh Ansible

[teddytpc1]

Objective
https://github.com/wazuh/internal-devel-requests/issues/1319

Description

As part of the DevOps overhaul objective we need to conduct research, analyze alternatives, and design how to implement the following changes.

1. Installation process:

• The Wazuh Ansible deployment alternative must use the Wazuh package URL instead of repositories.
• For the development packages, the download method will be defined here.

2. Installation configuration:

• Ensure the Wazuh Ansible deployment uses out-of-the-box Wazuh configurations.

3. Testing Improvements:

• Enhance deployment tests with additional checks, including log validation for errors and warnings.
• Ensure tests are compatible with both production and development packages.

4. Documentation Updates:

• Simplify Ansible installation documentation.
• Focus on prerequisites for Wazuh Ansible deployment, using the Wazuh Kubernetes documentation as a reference.

Implementation restrictions

• Testing Environment:
  • Tests must be implemented using GitHub Actions (GHA).
• Compatibility:
  • Ensure compatibility with both production and development package environments.
• Logs Validation:
  • Include robust log analysis to detect and report errors or warnings clearly.
• Minimal Maintenance:
  • Prioritize simplicity and minimize ongoing maintenance requirements.

Plan

1. Research & Analysis:

• Analyze the current Wazuh Ansible deployment process to identify required changes for using package URLs.
• Review and integrate the development package download method outlined in #1725.

2. Configuration Updates:

• Define how to modify the Wazuh Ansible deployment to use out-of-the-box configurations.

3. Test Enhancements:

• Define how the new GHA workflows will validate deployments with production and development packages.
• Define how to integrate log analysis into deployment tests to identify errors and warnings.

4. Documentation Updates:

• Define how to simplify the Ansible installation documentation.
• Rewrite Wazuh Ansible installation documentation, focusing on prerequisites and using Wazuh Kubernetes documentation as a style guide.
