Ansible playbook for apache installation using yum module

Step 1) Create a playbook

 [osboxes@master ansible-playbooks]$ cat>apache-install.yml

---

- hosts: all

  become: true

  become_user: root

  tasks:

       - name: Install httpd package

         yum:

           name: httpd

           state: present

       - name: Create a index.html

         copy:

           content: "Test page"

           dest: /var/www/html/index.html

       - name: Start httpd service

         service:

           name: httpd

           state: started

           enabled: true

- name: Test the webserver URL

  hosts: all

  become: no

  tasks:

    - name: Connect to http://<hostname>

      uri:

        url: http://localhost

        return_content: yes

        status_code: 200

Step 2) Verify the syntax

[osboxes@master ansible-playbooks]$ ansible-playbook apache-install.yml -i inventory.txt --syntax-check

playbook: apache-install.yml

Step 3) Execute the playbook with --step option to run to verify on the remote host after each step. 

[osboxes@master ansible-playbooks]$ ansible-playbook apache-install.yml -i inventory.txt -K --step
