Playbooks are Ansible's configuration, deployment, and orchestration language. They can describe a policy you want your remote systems to enforce, or a set of steps in a general IT process.
|
|
|
|
If Ansible modules are the tools in your workshop, playbooks are your design plans.
|
|
|
|
At a basic level, playbooks can be used to manage configurations of and deployments to remote machines. At a more advanced level, they can sequence multi-tier rollouts involving rolling updates, and can delegate actions to other hosts, interacting with monitoring servers and load balancers along the way.

|
While there's a lot of information here, there's no need to learn everything at once. You can start small and pick up more features
|
|
over time as you need them.
|
|
|
|
Playbooks are designed to be human-readable and are developed in a basic text language. There are multiple
|
|
ways to organize playbooks and the files they include, and we'll offer up some suggestions on that and making the most out of Ansible.
|
|
|
|
It is recommended to look at `Example Playbooks <https://github.com/ansible/ansible-examples>`_ while reading along with the playbook documentation. These illustrate best practices as well as how to put many of the various concepts together.
