Insanely complete Ansible playbook, showing off all the options

pedantically_commented_playbook.yml

This playbook has been removed as it is now very outdated.

This would be really cool to evolve and keep up to date to showcase a detailed changelog.

Great Playbook. A lot of things are clear to me now.

should be part of the core documentation. thanks!

Amazing!

edit: And thanks, @marktheunissen!

In term of using variable in hosts attribute (line 58)
ORIG:

hosts: $groups -- apply to all hosts specified in the variable $groups

REVISE:
hosts : group # No $

$ ansible-playbook playbook1.yml -e "group=myservers"
or
$ ansible-playbook playbook1.yml --extra-vars="target=myservers"

sudo: true is deprecated in favor of become: true

which editor u use for yaml?

@antoniopinarella you can use any text editor. I use vim for .yml and it works fine.
(Probably you found it out. However for new people searches. )

Can we please bury this Gist? it keeps showing up as clickbait in search engines while the syntax is horribly outdated.

I love this, please include "become"

I have made a fork and updated some of the content that has been deprecated.
