Hi all!

Just a simple question but it may be just looking into it too deep.

I’ve got several playbooks that I run sequentially manually during a server build. How would I create a separate playbook and call these other playbooks in their respective order?

Thanks!

You can use import\_playbook [1] like

`

# main.yml

- import\_playbook: playbook1.yml
- import\_playbook: playbook2.yml
