# 1 - Run Playbook

This exercise introduces you to running playbook. The playbook is already written.

## Visualize the playbook

The playbook is named `ping.yml`. Open it with your favorite editor.

## Run the playbook

Run the playbook with the inventory file adapted to your lab setup:
```bash
ansible-playbook -i ../hosts ping.yml
```

## Pass args on the command line

Now change the value of the `ping` output with overwriting the `ping_output` vars.

```bash
ansible-playbook -v -i ../hosts ping.yml -e "ping_output=Ansible is great"
```
