Exercise 02: Playbook and simple tasks

My first Playbook

1) Create a file called Appserver.yaml.

2) Add a task for running Windows Update with the win_update module, targeting the windows hostgroup. Note: we only want security updates installed.

hint: win_update module

3) Add a new task to the playbook for rebooting the server with the win_reboot module only if the installed windows update required it.

4) Run the playbook against the inventory file.

hint:

ansible-playbook -i [path/to/file.inventory] Appserver.yaml --verbose
