Hi ,

I have 3 directories in /tmp as follows: 

Test_10.0.0

Test_11.0.0

Test_13.0.0

other directories in /tmp

Test

 Prod

 Dev

Now i want to create soft link of 

Test_10.0.0 - Test

Test_11.0.0 - Prod

Test_13.0.0 - Dev

I want to create a playbook which does it.

Can anybody help in this regard

From the docs:

- name: Create a symbolic link
file:
src: /file/to/link/to
dest: /path/to/symlink
owner: foo
group: foo
state: link

Hi Rakesh,

I create the following play for you with a variable that you can loop and access the src and dest for the links. 

---
- name: create softlink
  hosts: servers
  gather_facts: off
  vars:
    sf_links:
      - src: /tmp/Test_10.0.0
        dest: /tmp/Test
      - src: /tmp/Test_11.0.0
        dest: /tmp/Prod
      - src: /tmp/Test_13.0.0
        dest: /tmp/Dev
  tasks:
    - name: create softlinks
      file:
        src: "{{item.src}}"
        dest: "{{item.dest}}"
        state: link
      loop: "{{sf_links}}"
