$ ansible-playbook -i hosts site.yml -u admin -kThe -i option specifies the name of the inventory file, the
-u option specifies the username that will be used to
connect to the device, and the -k option specifies that the
user should be asked for the connection password when
the playbook is executed. Connection credentials can also
be included in the inventory file but in this example they
are passed in as parameters of the ansible-playbook
command. The output of this command looks as shown
in Example 15-2.
