Hi Guys,

Hi@akhtar,

Variable in playbooks are very similar to using variables in any programming language. It helps you to use and assign a value to a variable and use that anywhere in the playbook.

- hosts: all
  vars:
    - pname: "httpd"
  tasks:
  - package:
      name: "{{ pname }}"
      state: present
