I like to use `jsonfile` as my backend. It allows to use another project
`ansible-cmdb` [github](https://github.com/fboender/ansible-cmdb) that generates a HTML page of your inventory resources. A nice 'free' addition!

### debugging ansible [chapter in progres]
When your job fails - it is good to be effective with debugging.
1. Increase verbosiy by using multiple -v **[ -vvvvv]**
2. If variable is undefined
- grep -R path_of_your_inventory -e missing_variable
3. If variable (dictionary or a list) is undefined
- grep -R path_of_your_inventory -e missing_variable
4. Jinja template debug
5. Strange behaviour - try to run the code 'at the destination'
### Infrastructure as a code - what about Ansible
You already know, that ansible-vault allow you to store your poufne data along with your code (in repository). You can go further - and define your ansible installation and configuration as-a-code.
