How can I debug my Ansible playbook?

How can I debug my Ansible playbook?

You can debug your Ansible playbook by using the --check and --diff options, or by adding debug tasks.

What does the --check option do?

The --check option runs your playbook in a dry run mode, showing what changes would be made without actually applying them.

How do I add debug tasks in my playbook?

You can add a debug task using the debug module like this: - name: Show variable value debug: var: your_variable_name.

Are there any other debugging techniques I should know?

Yes, you can also use the ansible-playbook command with the -vvvv option for verbose output, which provides detailed logs.
