Very very easy and you have many options!
You have the "when" conditional for one, which can easily key off facts
like "ansible_os_family".
- shell: /usr/bin/foo
when: "ansible_os_family == 'redhat'"
You have things like "include_vars" which can include variables based on OS
facts (1.4) at role or task level
- include_vars: "{{ansible_os_family}}.yml"
or even
- include_vars: redhat.yml
when: "ansible_os_family == 'redhat'"
You can also do this with "vars_files" at the play level:
- hosts: webservers
vars_files: "{{ ansible_os_family}}.yml"
You can have roles for each OS if you want and include a common role
dependency for common parts
(see roles chapter in docs)
You can have a standard task file and do things like:
- include: redhat.yml
when: "ansible_os_family == 'redhat'"
So, yes, lots of options!
