Task YML Synthax

[Yoann DAVID]

Hello,

depending of the playbook, the modules attribute's in task are differently written :

Colon synthax :

- name: APT | Update the general configuration (/etc/apt/apt.conf.ds/10general)

template:

src: etc_apt_apt.conf.d_10general.j2

dest: /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10general

owner: root

group: root

mode: 0644

Equal synthax :

- name: Configure APT and package sources

template:     src={{ item }}.j2     dest=/{{ item }}     owner=root     group=root     mode=0644

with_items:

- 'etc/apt/sources.list'

Why ? Which one is prefered ? Must one of this will be deprecated ? Thanks a lot

The "=" short form is often more concise for simple things that can be put all on one line

   - copy: src=a dest=/tmp/b mode=0644 owner=root

etc

Both are fine and neither will be deprecated.

The colon form is needed to pass structured data, as is required by some modules, like the ec2 modules
