> I'm almost surprised that you can't add a shebang line pointing to Ansible at the top of your YAML. You actually can do that, with something like: #!/usr/bin/env ansible-playbook --- - hosts: localhost tasks: - debug: var=ansible_distribution_release It works pretty nicely, just remember to make your playbook file executable. It's a bit cumbersome though since you cannot use `ansible-playbook` arguments like `--limit`, `--diff`, `--check` and so on to have better control over the playbook execution.
