ansible-playbook

Also written: --check, --diff, -e, check mode

The command that runs an Ansible playbook so the real systems end up matching the settings written in it. Its `-e` option passes in a value, such as the file to fix. `--check` only reports what would change, and `--diff` shows each difference, which is how Alex catches configuration drift.
