-====== Deploy a Fleet of VMs ======
-In this step we will give the ''ansible'' account sudo privileges on our host and use playbooks to deploy and manager servers from an inventory of servers.
-Overview:
-  - Give sudo permissions to user ansible
-  - Set up the variables.yml file
-  - Set up up the server.yml file with the information about the servers we want
-  - Create jinja templates
-  - Create playbook to deploy servers
-  - Create playbook to update packages on the servers
-===== Grant sudo Permissions to the ansible User =====
-From your regular login account all the ''ansible'' user to the ''sudo'' group.
-<code>sudo usermod -aG sudo ansible</group>
-You can new test sudo access for the user ''ansible'':
-  * ''su - ansible''
-  * ''sudo apt update''
-For the remainder of the Lab you will be using the ''ansible'' user. You may conveniently ssh to your server as user ''ansible''.
-===== Create a New variables.yml File =====
-Create a new variables.yml file in the home directory (you are the user ''ansible'' now, so it's in /home/ansible).
-Replace the ssh key with the one you saved earlier. Also as before you need to replaced the bridge_interface_name value with the interface of your host machine.
