Using Ansible to install Java from a role

Ansible is great for doing what we just did, running easy-to-understand commands by using modules on remote machines.

But that isn't its bread and butter. Instead, Ansible really shines when it comes to running a whole slew of commands against a remote machine, and making vast configuration changes in seconds.

Hang on to your hats!

Getting ready

For this section, we are again using our Vagrantfile and two CentOS VMs.

It would be a good idea to complete the previous section before working on this one.
