Find host name of a website in linux

Firstly, ping that website from linux terminal -

 ping <website name>


ping results-

you can check latency too here.. latency is displayed in ms. (time=__ ms)

 here ttl stands for time to leave.
ttl - Time-to-live (TTL) is a value in an Internet Protocol (IP) packet that tells a network router whether or not the packet has been in the network too long and should be discarded

 icmp is a protocol ... if it will not be enabled then ping will not show complete result. 

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Copy Ip address from there and paste it here to know host name - 

 ipinfo.io/<IpAddress>

 that's it....!

Basics about Ansible - an automation tool

What is Ansible...? Ansible is a radically simple IT automation engine that automates cloud provisioning, configuration management, application deployment, intra-service orchestration, and many other IT needs. Designed for multi-tier deployments since day one, Ansible models your IT infrastructure by describing how all of your systems inter-relate, rather than just managing one system at a time. How ansible works?   SSH KEYS ARE YOUR FRIENDS Passwords are supported, but SSH keys with ssh-agent are one of the best ways to use Ansible. Though if you want to use Kerberos, that's good too. Lots of options! Root logins are not required, you can login as any user, and then su or sudo to any user. when Ansible accesses a remote system it checks for the directory /etc/ansible/facts.d Ansible's "authorized_key" module is a great way to use ansible to control what machines can access what hosts. Other options, like kerberos or identity management systems, can also be ...

Target Groups for Your Application Load Balancers - AWS - ELB

You register targets, such as EC2 instances, with a  target group . To route requests to the targets in a target group, specify the target group in a rule for one of the listeners for your load balancer. You define health check settings for your load balancer on a per target group basis. Each target group uses the default health check settings, unless you override them when you create the target group or modify them later on. After you specify a target group in a rule for a listener, the load balancer continually monitors the health of all targets registered with the target group that are in an Availability Zone enabled for the load balancer. The load balancer routes requests to the registered targets that are healthy. By default, a load balancer routes requests to its targets using the protocol and port number that you specified when you created the target group. Alternatively, you can override the port used for routing traffic to a target when you register it with t...
