+# 50 - Template
+
+This playbook makes you use Jinja templating to deploy custom motd.
+
+## Template and Playbook Creation
+
+First write a Jinja template file following the given specs:
+* Contains the following content:
+```
+/-----------------------------
+Welcome to the ansible managed host: <hostname>
+
+Please use Ansible playbooks instead of doing manual modifications on the system.
+-----------------------------/
+```
+* Ensure that you use the correct Jinja mechanism to allow replacement of `<hostname` by the corresponding value from the inventory (IP address is OK, depending of your host file).
+
+Then write a playbook following the given specs:
+* Run on host group `lab`
+* Deploys the instantiated Jinja template file previously created to `/etc/motd`
+
+## Validation
+Run the playbook and then try to connect to each host to validate you see the customized banner on ssh connection.
+
+There is a working playbook in `solution/solution.yml`
