How can I optimize my Ansible playbooks for better performance?

To optimize your Ansible playbooks, consider using strategies like minimizing the number of tasks, using async, and leveraging facts.

What do you mean by leveraging facts?

Leveraging facts means using gathered information about your hosts to make decisions in your playbooks, reducing unnecessary tasks.

Can you give me an example of using async in a playbook?

Sure! You can run tasks asynchronously by adding async and poll parameters. For example: - name: Long running task command: /path/to/long_task async: 600 poll: 0.

Are there any best practices for structuring my playbooks?

Yes, keep your playbooks modular, use roles for organization, and maintain clear variable naming conventions for readability.
