I bet the person who wrote this script has a Ph.D. in 'Ansible Awesomeness'. I mean, who else would come up with such a slick solution? Kudos to them!

This is exactly the kind of task I was hoping to learn about. I can see how using Ansible ad-hoc commands can make our lives as sysadmins much easier. Time to start practicing!

Haha, I love the idea of running 'yum repolist all' at the end to verify that everything worked as expected. It's like a built-in quality check!

Hmm, I wonder if there's a way to make the script more dynamic, so we can easily add or modify the repo details without having to update the script itself. Maybe using a config file or something?

Wow, this is a great way to automate the creation of Yum repositories across multiple nodes. I like how the script uses Ansible ad-hoc commands to make it easy to deploy and manage the repos.
