Hi@akhtar,

Traditional programming language usually uses the if-else statement when more than one outcome is expected. In Ansible when statement is used instead to determine the outcome of a variable. So instead of using the if-else statement, you can use when statement. The syntax is as given below.

- name: install Apache Web-Server
  hosts: all
  tasks:
    - name: Install Apache on CentOS  Server
      yum: name=httpd  state=present
      become: yes
      when: ansible_os_family == "RedHat"
