Conditionals, Loops, and Handlers

Task control is what transforms simple scripts into intelligent automation. In this lab, you will write playbooks that adapt to system conditions, iterate over lists, and use handlers for efficient service management.

You will:

• Use when: conditionals based on facts and registered variables
• Create multiple users and directories using loop:
• Configure httpd with a handler that restarts only when config changes
• Use loop_control to improve output readability

Key Resources:

• Conditionals
• Loops
• Handlers
