Ansible playbook to upgrade packages

Modify hosts and run ansible-playbook -i hosts upgrade.yaml.

Note: On debain to make reboot detect work, you may install unattended-upgrades.

- hosts: server
  become: true
  become_user: root
  tasks:
    - name: Update apt repo and cache on all Debian/Ubuntu boxes
      when: ansible_os_family == 'Debian'
      apt: update_cache=yes force_apt_get=yes cache_valid_time=3600
    - name: Upgrade all packages on debian servers
      when: ansible_os_family == 'Debian'
      apt: upgrade=yes force_apt_get=yes
    - name: Upgrade all packages on arch servers
      when: ansible_os_family == 'Archlinux'
      pacman:
        update_cache: yes
        upgrade: yes
    - name: Check if a reboot is needed on all servers
      register: reboot_required_file
      stat: path=/var/run/reboot-required get_md5=no
    - name: Reboot the box if kernel updated
      reboot:
        msg: "Reboot initiated by Ansible for kernel updates"
        connect_timeout: 5
        reboot_timeout: 90
        pre_reboot_delay: 0
        post_reboot_delay: 30
        test_command: uptime
      when: reboot_required_file.stat.exists

Only debian(include ubuntu) and arch linux are supported now(because I only use these two).
