I need to remove some entries on "Events" tab vSphere Client.
I'm using VMWare Esxi 5.5 without VCenter.
That's not possible, and mostly not recommended.

Ansbile can be used to update a machine via ssh, and in order to establish such connection, you need an accessible IP address.
How to use it to update a fleet of distributed machines on different networks (consumers) which don't have a public address?
One solution I was thinking of, is to reverse the procedure, have Ansible configured on the client machine, that connects each day to the server, read a file to see if it has a new update for it and loads that update.
I find this not straightforward, is there another way?
ansible-pull is exacly what you are looking for.
I am using Ansible to configure my several web servers. I want to restrict all traffic coming to those servers except some hosts. Actually, i want that these servers will only be accessed by some hosts only.
First figure out how to configure such a firewall on your system without Ansible. Then use Ansible to apply that configuration to a host.
I use package iptables-persistent on Debian 9, and use Ansible templating to manage /etc/iptables/rules.v4
I have a requirement to setup VM boxes across multiple host machines and this has to be initiated from a single master host. To elaborate bit more, I will have VM templates with different configurations (created as say a VgrantFile) and the master host should initiate connection to the child host and bring up the VM based on a specific template.
Can I use Vagrant for this ? Appreciate if you can suggest alternatives.

this is the first time I am trying to host at Iaas level using microsoft azure. I have created a VM, microsoft server 2012. But I cannot access the VM using the DNS name.
Based on the content of the comments, I see three things that could be wrong
1) Apache is not listening on the external IP of the VM
2) Firewall is not configured to allow for access
3) Since you mentioned DNS, is that the *.cloudapp.net hostname or a custom DNS? If it's the latter, maybe it isn't distributed yet or misconfigured?
Which of these did you check already? Then we can guide you through the remaining ones.
I just want to add a couple subdomains to my computers FQDN so that I can have some Vitrual Servers (apache.)
Any ideas?
Note: I need to add the aliases to my machine, like a.foo.com and b.foo.com. I don't think apache makes those aliases.
Alternative: I decided that instead of trying to add stuff to my domain name (since then I'd have to edit the dns server) I would configure virtual hosts for a separate port. That way it's all up to my computer. Thanks for the help nonetheless!
If this is on a Windows domain: go into the DNS management tool on the DC, and add host entries (CN records, not A records) pointing the desired names to the original computer name.
If you're doing this all on one (non-server) box: edit the hosts file, and point the names to the right IP address.
