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 minimizing the number of tasks?

Minimizing tasks means combining related tasks into a single task where possible, reducing overhead and improving execution time.

Are there specific modules that are more efficient?

Yes, some modules like command and shell can be less efficient than using specific modules like yum or apt, which are optimized for package management.

How can I use async in my playbooks?

You can use the async keyword to run tasks asynchronously, allowing other tasks to execute while waiting for the async task to complete.
