Generated playbook

Copy this YAML into a file such as playbook.yml then run it with ansible-playbook in your own environment.

The generator does not run Ansible. It only builds text based playbooks and leaves all execution inside your own tools and infrastructure.

Important notice This Ansible Playbook Generator is an educational and productivity helper. All input and all generation happen in your browser. No hostnames, inventories, playbooks, or keys are transmitted to CyberLife Coach or to any third party. The output is provided without warranty. Always review and test playbooks in a safe environment before you use them on production systems.
