Hello All

[Amit Kulkarni]

Hello All,

I am very new to Ansible and have written just one play book to install tomcat on EC2 instance.

I wanted to know the best way to learn this tool and if someone can give me common task which can automated middleware area, I will be happy to start writing the playbooks for those task and seek advice on the group as needed.

Below is my Playbook for reference.

Request  to give some basic tasks which can help me learn Ansible quickly.

Thanks
