Hi,

I am new to Ansible. I have two separate playbooks to create VM and Install Java on it.  
I am trying to create a single playbook which creates an VM with latest Java installed on it. Please help.

Regards,  
Uday

Hi Uday,

It might be good approach keep your playbooks separately, organized in roles.

And both will be called one-by-one by high-level simple playbook. So, something like this, when talking about structure of your project:

create\_vm\_with\_java.yml

roles/

create\_vm/

tasks/

handlers/

files/

vars/

defaults/

install\_java/

tasks/

defaults/

meta/

```auto
and your top-level playbook create_vm_with_java.yml will have next content:

```
