Chapter 2. Automating Simple Tasks
As we have mentioned in the previous chapter, Ansible can be used for both, creating and managing a whole infrastructure, as well as be integrated into an infrastructure that is already working.
In this chapter, we will see:
- What a playbook is and how it works
- How to create a web server using Ansible
- A close look at the Jinja2 template engine
But first we will talk about YAML Ain't Markup Language (YAML), a human-readable data serialization language that is widely used in Ansible.
