Review Ansible Variables File
================================================================================

An Ansible variables file was created by the accompanying Terraform from a previous lab exercise.

Copy the variables file from the Terraform working directory to the Ansible working directory:

   .. code-block:: bash

      cp ../terraform-aws-sslo/ansible_vars.yaml .

Review these files with **Visual Studio Code (VSCode)** by executing the following:

   .. code-block:: bash

      code .

   *'code' + <space> + <dot>*

Wait for VSCode to launch and display the file list in the left panel.

Click on **ansible_vars.yaml** to view the file. VSCode provides YAML syntax highlighting to help with format validation and readability.
