Tasks

tasks folder

The tasks folder is another required in the Ansible framework. The tasks folder holds all the YAML task files that call Ansible modules. A similar folder structure to the other folders should be created for scalability and to keep tasks sorted by environment and function. The tasks in the configuration’s subfolders match one-to-one with each of the Jinja2 template files created.

This is not meant to exhaustively cover all the files created. Rather, it means to give a picture of the folder structure and samples of the types of tasks required and where to store them:
