Basics

Tasks can be organized for playbooks in various ways.

The easiest and simplest way is to place all tasks (along with all other playbook information) into a single YAML file in the top level playbooks directory.

playbooks/
        hosts
        site.yml

An alternative way that gives finer grained control is to include a tasks directory in the top level playbooks directory, and either use a single task file that contains all tasks, or split tasks into different YAML files:

playbooks/
        hosts
        site.yml
        tasks/
            main.yml
            foo.yml
            bar.yml
