In this video you’ll learn about what types of variables are available in Ansible and the concept of Variable Files and how to use them. We’ll walk through creating Inventory and Playbook variables, as well as creating a group in the inventory and creating variable files for groups and hosts. I also give advice on some troubleshooting techniques you can use through Ansible!
