4.5. 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:
cp ../terraform-aws-sslo/ansible_vars.yaml .
Review these files with Visual Studio Code (VSCode) by executing the following:
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.
