Hi the ansible playbook structure/spacing or what its called as indentation is this structure common on all playbooks that is written or does it change. Its bit confusing where and when to use spaces & hyphens in a playbook. I am not from a coding or developer background hence it becomes more confusing is there a editor to automatically take the spacing & hyphens when writing the playbook. Can you make a video on how to structure the playbook step by step.Kindly reply

[@technotesofhemant8338]

Sure I will try to make one on that. Still for a general understanding we use hyphen (-) at 3 major places: 1. Starting of playbook either in name of play or you with hosts directly. 2. Starting the tasks , again in providing their name or directly with module one is using. 3. While defining more than one values as input to keep them at same indentation. This can be used to provide more than one value or dealing with one or more conditions. Now regarding to indentation, I use single rule that what is the scope of the parameter we are dealing with. For ex, an attribute of a module will always have more spaces than the module itself. At same place the conditions applied on task will have same indentation as that of module as that will affect module behaviour. Hopefully I made sense and it is helpful for you.

How are the packages are fetching for next patching cycle

[@ManpreetSingh-xq3dp]

Whether we need to enable any repository as well in the master server

[@technotesofhemant8338]

Not actually

[@santoshdegil4880]

It is really helpful. I need one more help on this check if you can provide. I have different packages to exclude for every server, is there any way instead of adding that package name in file we can in put that package name while executing playbook.

[@technotesofhemant8338]

Thank you very much for your comment. Now coming to your additional feature, I suggest put a variable in place of exclude package name. Then make use of hostvars/groupvars approach to provide value for that variable against each server or for a server group.
