EXPECTED RESULTS

VMshould be created from template and assigned the ip for the interface which i am giving at the ntework line.

ACTUAL RESULTS
ERROR! Syntax Error while loading YAML.
  did not find expected key

The error appears to have been in '/opt/work/ansible/playbooks/gowtham/vmfromtem                                                                                                             plate.yml': line 27, column 10, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

      - name: "vcesys_esx_mgmt"
         ip: "10.1.1.10"
         ^ here

Please check the indentation after the line “ip” - 28 and 29
