@flasportsbuzz Feels like 30 years of "in the hunt"

Huntley with 24,5 QB rating. That was a rather deplorable first half. Streak of winning seasons (4 going into season) on the line!

@davehydesports it’s time…

All events should start and end with @Lopez VMware Explore 2024 Come hang with us! @RedHatEvents

The expo hall is open at @VMwareExplore ! Come by the @RedHat booth and talk about anything Red Hat! Hopefully some @ansible ?? cc @RedHatEvents

@RichardHolmboe @nixcraft I stand corrected:)

@Lopez @nixcraft Besides that, really good example I try to utilize a lot. Especially blocking tasks which is os specific, so utilizing block-when to exclude checks on individual tasks, save some cpu cycles.

Ansible PRO TIP: Take advantage of ‘block’ to group tasks and apply common attributes or error handling. It helps to simplify your playbook structure and manage task execution flow.

@nixcraft Unless you use delegate_to it would look for the .sh locally where you run the playbook.

@Lopez That last .sh file, how does it work? Does it get copied to the remote host automatically and then gets executed?

@IPvSean Because it makes it harder to read on X. So I change it to white.

@Lopez why no syntax highlighting @Lopez ?

You need to learn how to write better playbooks! One thing I like to do is order my roles so that the files are prepended with a sequence numbers: 🤯 Make troubleshooting easy 😎 Make it easy for your team 🧐 Keep it simple #ansible #redhat #automation #developer

📈 Boost your automation skills and make playbook creation effortless with #ansible Lightspeed! • Full playbook generation from natural language prompts • Detailed playbook explanations • Seamless integration with VSCode youtu.be/oS7mSykl_D0?si…

The key to effective Ansible playbooks — consistency. How to write consistent playbooks: 🧵

If you liked this thread give it a RT 🙏

- Test your playbooks multiple times to verify idempotence. Ansible should report “ok” once the state of the task has been already achieved no matter how many times you run the playbook.
