Ansible Loop by Raj Gupta

Without loop to uninstall software on client


[ansible@ip-172-31-80-19 ~]$ vi loop.yml
[ansible@ip-172-31-80-19 ~]$ cat loop.yml
-
  name: this is our first playbook.
  hosts: all
  tasks:
    -
      name: 'installing'
      apt: name="vsftpd" state=absent
    -
      name: 'installing'
      apt: name="tree" state=absent
[ansible@ip-172-31-80-19 ~]$ ansible-playbook loop.yml -i inventory.txt


To install replace state=absent with state=present

[ansible@ip-172-31-80-19 ~]$ vi loop.yml
[ansible@ip-172-31-80-19 ~]$ cat loop.yml
-
  name: this is our first playbook.
  hosts: all
  tasks:
    -
      name: 'installing'
      apt: name="{{ item }}" state=present
      with_items:
        - vsftpd
        - tree
[ansible@ip-172-31-80-19 ~]$ ansible-playbook loop.yml -i inventory.txt
