Hi Deborah,
use with_items:
- name: Creating multiple tomcat instance
file: dest=/var/lib/tomcat-instance{{ item }} state=directory
with_items:
- 1
- 2
- 3
Or, maybe better way with_sequence:
- name: Creating multiple tomcat instance
file: dest=/var/lib/tomcat-instance{{ item }} state=directory
with_sequence: start=1 end=3
