mkdir myAnsible
cd myAnsible
mkdir -p inventories/{production/{group_vars,host_vars},staging/{group_vars,host_vars}} roles
mkdir -p playbook/{production,staging}
cat > ansible.cfg <<EOF
[defaults]
command_warnings=False
#roles_path = /home/wajatmaka/Activity/LEARN/ANSIBLE/roles
host_key_checking = false
EOF
touch inventories/production/hosts
touch inventories/production/group_vars/all
touch inventories/staging/hosts
touch inventories/staging/group_vars/all
