Ansible Command Module Tutorial - Complete Beginner's Guide

In this tutorial video I give you a complete beginner's guide to the Ansible Command Module. You can use Ansible's Command Module to run arbitrary commands on a remote host, just like you were logged in to the shell. The Ansible Command and Shell Modules are quite similar, and I explain some of the differences in this video. I've split this video into sections to make it easier to navigate:

- 0:32 -- Command Module Basics
- 1:33 -- Command vs Shell Module
- 4:09 -- Run Commands in Different Directories
- 6:06 -- Set & Use Environment Variables
- 8:30 -- Run Multiple Commands in a Loop

Thanks for watching and hope it's entertaining/useful for you! Hit me up in the comments if you have any questions or feedback 💪.

How can we use diff command and store the changes in file?

[monday]

1:22 Well, no - you can't see that file being created by touch, you can see the file is there. That is a massive difference ... A lot of programming bugs come out of assumptions, here you are showing an example that is assuming things.
