I am trying to use the fail module at the very beginning of my playbook to
check if the target server is a specific distribution and version. This way
I can stop the playbook from running early on before any making any chances.
playbook:
---
- hosts: all
tasks:
- debug: msg='distro is {{ ansible_distribution }} and version is {{
ansible_distribution_major_version }}'
- name: check if target server is CentOS 6
fail: msg='You have attempted to run this playbook against an
unsupported platform!'
when: (ansible_distribution != "CentOS" and
ansible_distribution_major_version != "6")
- name: check if target server is CentOS 6 or Ubuntu 14
fail: msg='unsupported platform detected!'
when: (ansible_distribution != "CentOS" and
ansible_distribution_major_version != "6") or (ansible_distribution !=
"Ubuntu" and ansible_distribution_major_version != "14")
- debug: msg="Supported platform detected!"
playbook execution:
ansible-playbook test.yml -i inventory -u root -k
SSH password:
PLAY [all]

Where am I going wrong ?
