opsshell:
  - name: Task 1 on All Servers
    hosts: all  # Specify the host group here
    os_env:  # Define environment variables here
      KEY: "value"
    tasks:
        - name: Set environment variables
          command: |
            echo 'export VAR1=value1' >> ~/.bashrc
            echo 'export VAR2=value2' >> ~/.bashrc
            source ~/.bashrc

          command: apt-get install -y python3.8

1. opsshell is the name of the main name.

2. - name: Task on All Servers Group is the name of the first task within the playbook. This task appears to be intended to run on all servers in the "all" group.

3. hosts: all specifies the group of hosts on which this task should run. In this case, it's set to "all," which means it will run on all servers defined in the inventory hosts.yaml file.

4. os_env: is used to define environment variables that can be used within the playbook.

   • KEY: "value" sets an environment variable KEY with the value "value." to your remote server

5. tasks: is a list of tasks to be executed on the specified group hosts.
