- Run multiple tasks out of one playbook
- Control of playbook functions via one common vars file
- Quick runs of routine tasks on VyOS based devices
- Control of task via variable task: in play_vars.yml. Example: task: banner will activate vyos_config-banner.yml. Separate vars files are avialble if needed in
vars\task_bars. - The playbook is set to run up to 2 tasks but it can be expanded if needed.

when: task2 is definedThe task is controlled by the task[#]: variable in vars/play_vars.yml. When vars/play_vars.yml is called by the variable task[#]: it affects include: tasks/vyos_config-{{ task[#] }}.yml, thus running the needed task for the playbook.
