Está faltando neste curso o recurso de legenda. É muito importante pois ajuda muito a entender algumas palavras que na pronuncia, não se pode identificar e assim não entender o sentido.

all of the examples are from ansible documentation website, which I already know. nothing extra like using custom scripts or creating role or tasks for VMware.
