You don't need the CLI to run show commands. Yea, I said it.
We're going to go through the full process of getting your first playbook setup to run "show commands". We'll setup a basic inventory, ansible.cfg, and then build a playbook. I'll show you how to use ansible-doc as a readme to get sample configurations.
Once we run our playbook, we'll cover how to display output and then how to handle differences in our network operating systems. We'll see why using the right module and learning conditionals helps create better playbooks.
