# 5 - 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`
