Ubuntu playbook syntax

[teddy mills]

This playbook works, but I dont think this is the proper way to install multiple packages.
Can someone correct this and show how it should be done ? TIA



ansible-playbook    /root/aplays/core.pb -u teddy -k

If it work and is understandable it's OK in my book, but it could be
more condense.

- name: install apt packages
apt: name={{ item }} update_cache=yes state=latest
with_items:
- sysstat
- htop
- curl
- bzip

I think you see the pattern, just continue to add the rest of the packages.
