All right, let's continue our Ansible on Windows journey with the module,
Authoring Ansible Playbooks.
By now, you know quite a bit about playbooks really.
But we're going to formally understand who,
what, when, where, why, and how with Ansible playbooks in a formal treatment.
We'll learn are there any differences in creating playbooks for
Windows nodes from creating playbooks for Linux?
Short answer, no.
I mentioned from time to time that Ansible is integrated with
the Jinja templating language, and that allows us to use
conditional statements such that we could,
for instance,
have a playbook that conditionally applies either to Windows
or Linux hosts depending on an evaluation.
We'll cover variables, and then we'll do more work with running playbooks.
This is a really action‑packed module.
Let's get into it.
