Ansible : Use Playbook (include)

	It's possible to include tasks or Playbooks from other Playbooks.
[1]	If you'd like to include other tasks, write [include: ***] in [tasks] section.

[cent@dlp ~]$  vi playbook_sample.yml # include [included.yml] under the [tasks] directory - hosts: target_servers become: yes become_method: sudo tasks: - include: tasks/included.yml [cent@dlp ~]$  mkdir tasks [cent@dlp ~]$  vi tasks/included.yml # OK to set task definition only - name: General packages are installed yum: name: "{{ packages }}" state: present vars: packages: - tar - wget - unzip tags: General_Packages [cent@dlp ~]$  ansible-playbook playbook_sample.yml --ask-become-pass BECOME password: PLAY [target_servers] ********************************************************** TASK [Gathering Facts] ********************************************************* ok: [10.0.0.52] ok: [10.0.0.51] TASK [General packages are installed] ****************************************** ok: [10.0.0.51] ok: [10.0.0.52] PLAY RECAP ********************************************************************* 10.0.0.51 : ok=2 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0 skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=0 10.0.0.52 : ok=2 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0 skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=0

[2]	For import other Playbooks, use [import_playbook]. In addition to [1], include a Playbook that [httpd] is running.
