tasks are actions to be performed, a play is a mapping between a list
of hosts and list of tasks.
Normally you can recognize a play as it is the only thing that has a
`hosts:` keyword, tasks always belong inside a play, normally under
the tasks: keyword.
- name: this is a play
hosts: all
tasks:
- name: this is a task
debug: msg=this is a task
Tasks can be put in more places other than the tasks keyword, but they
always need to be inside a play to be executed. i.e they can be in a
role, but the role must be in a play.
