“
Welcome to using Ansible Playbooks. In this lesson, you'll learn how to create manifest files to push the desired state to manage systems. You'll first learn about YAML and how it is used to build playbooks. Next, I'll guide you through writing and running your first playbook. You'll learn how to run them and how to deal with errors, and you'll also learn how to run playbooks with Ansible Navigator. At the end of this lesson you'll find a lab in which we'll work out a small case where you are going to automate setting up web servers.
