In this section, we will now create the playbook and roles to generate our cloud health report. Once the playbook is executed, the output and end result will be a single report with some of the monitoring checks that we reviewed in the previous section. Just as shown in the last chapter, the report can be saved into a directory of your choice. This time around, we have broken up the tasks into three roles in order to keep things simple.

---
- name: Create working directory
shell: mkdir {{ REPORT_DIR }}
ignore_errors: yes
