I wonder if the exam will ask us to include error handling in case the remote nodes don't have the necessary permissions to write to the /root/specs.txt file. Gotta be prepared for those edge cases!

This is a solid question. I'm sure the correct answer will involve using the appropriate Ansible modules to gather the system facts and then update the specs.txt file accordingly.

After that, we can use the lineinfile module to edit the specs.txt file on the remote machines.

I think we need to use the copy module to create the specs.empty file on the local machine.

Haha, I bet Bob's gonna have a tough time remembering all those variable names. Should've called them something more intuitive, like 'server_memory' and 'boot_disk_size'.

Maybe Bob can create some aliases for those variables to make it simpler.

Wait, why do we need to create a separate file called specs.empty? Isn't it simpler to just write the facts directly to the specs.txt file?

Having a separate file also allows for easier troubleshooting and debugging if needed.

It's a good practice to have a separate file for organization and clarity.

Looks like a straightforward Ansible playbook to create a file with system information. I like how it uses the appropriate variables to capture the facts.
