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....!

Integrate AWS CloudFront with S3 bucket

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.
