Hi Team,  
Currently I am trying to provision Openstack resources using Ansible with sample template snippet as below:  
os\_server:  
state: present  
cloud: smscrhosp  
name: test-instance  
image: CentOS-7-x86\_64-GenericCloud  
key\_name: mariachi-pub-key  
timeout: 200  
flavor: m1.small  
network: test-network  
auto\_ip: yes  
security\_groups:\\\\

I want to know , if our topology needs 10 nodes , then do we need to write this os\_server 10 times in Playbook  
or is there any better way to achive same?

Rahul

Use a loop to repeat the task as many times as you need
