In this post, you will learn how to create an Ansible playbook. As an exercise, you will install an Apache Webserver onto two target machines and change the welcome page.
1. Introduction
In the two previous Ansible posts, you learned how to setup an Ansible test environment and how to create an Ansible inventory. This post continues this series, but it is not necessary to read the first two posts. In this post, you will learn how to create an Ansible playbook. A playbook consists out of one or more plays which execute tasks. The tasks call Ansible modules. Do not worry if you do not understand this yet, this is what you will learn. It is also advised to read the introduction to playbooks in the Ansible documentation.
