Adding vars to the play

Variables can be defines in many locations, and we can get them from the facts gathering stage as well.

lets add some content to the nginx servers, create a file called index.html.tpl with the content:

{% embed include file="src/examples/aintro/index.html.tpl)

and run the playbook again:

yonit@ansible_server:~/ansible$ ansible-playbook nginx_install.yml

PLAY [virtualhosts] ********************************************************************************

PLAY RECAP *****************************************************************************************
ubuntu-1                   : ok=4    changed=1    unreachable=0    failed=0
ubuntu-2                   : ok=4    changed=1    unreachable=0    failed=0

now lets see it:

yonit@ansible_server:~/ansible$ curl http://ubuntu-2/
