How to avoid making mistakes in your Ansible Playbooks?

When we write an Ansible playbook or role, we usually do so because we want to automate error-prone manual tasks. But if the Ansible playbook we wrote is unreliable, all we did is replace one source of problems with another. Fortunately, with a little bit of knowledge, discipline, and help from appropriate tools, everyone can write a high quality Ansible playbook that will help you achieve reliable automation, saving you time and worry.

Here are the steps for shaping up your playbooks:

1. Detect errors early and fix them right away.
2. Enforce the desired state instead of executing actions.
3. Detect deviations from the desired state (configuration drift).
4. Test multiple ephemeral hosts with ease.
5. Follow best practices.
6. Detect potential issues based on the Collection analysis.
