A sysadmin walks through building a production-grade Ansible Playbook to audit RHEL versions across a fleet of servers, with help from an AI assistant. Key techniques covered include using ansible_play_hosts vs ansible_play_hosts_all to handle unreachable hosts gracefully, leveraging Jinja2 as a logic engine with Python-style dictionary methods to group hosts by version, and applying Ansible best practices like FQCNs and whitespace control. The final playbook generates a sorted, hierarchical report listing RHEL versions with their associated hosts and any unreachable nodes.
