Ansible Best Practices / Automated Folder setup using Ansible Copy and Ansible File Modules

Watch me setup a playbook to create an automated folder structure for a new network automation project, this will also be useful for anyone wanting to understand the Ansible File and Ansible Copy modules to create folders and copy files.
Also look at Ansible Variables Vars files and how to reference them within a playbook

These are Ansible best practices I use every day

Hi Roger, When attempting to create a new file in the Ansible directory, It gives below error
Unable to write file <path>/new-project.yml
(NoPermissions (FileSystemError): Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '<path>/new-project.yml')
I am running Ansible and VScode on Ubuntu Linux 20.04. I presume that this would also be an issue when the main Ansible task is run to create the working folder. Any idea why this is happening?
