Conditional

A conditional is an expression that evaluates to true or false that decides whether a given task is executed on a given machine or not. Ansible’s conditionals are powered by the ‘when’ statement.

- name: Do stuff on unix
  include_tasks: unix.yml
  when: ansible_os_family != 'Windows'

- name: Do stuff on Windows
  include_tasks: windows.yml
  when: ansible_os_family == 'Windows'
