Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in the text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "This book will assume that there are no settings in the ansible.cfg file that would affect the default operation of Ansible"

A block of code is set as follows:

---
plugin: amazon.aws.aws_ec2
boto_profile: default

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

ansible-playbook -i mastery-hosts --vault-id 
test@./password.sh showme.yaml -v

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see on screen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: "You simply need to navigate to your profile preferences page and click the Show API Key button."
