Ansible Engine Playbook

At the heart of Ansible automation is the playbook: a blueprint that defines the tasks needed to accomplish a desired outcome. Playbooks are written in YAML, which keeps them human-readable and easy to version control, letting you codify repeatable, reliable automation instead of relying on one-off commands.

This module explores playbook structure, syntax, and execution through hands-on challenges. You'll build a playbook from the ground up, see how it's organized into plays and tasks, and execute it against your lab devices to see the results firsthand.

By the end of this learning module, you should be comfortable with the Ansible playbook.  You will understand how it is constructed, and how to execute it.  

This lab will utilize a guided, hands-on challenge to reinforce the concepts learned.
