Ansible Playbook - Ping

This Ansible playbook performs a lightweight connectivity and Python execution check across all nodes in the home lab inventory. It is intended as a quick health check to verify that managed hosts are reachable and ready for further automation tasks.

What it does

• Node Reachability Check: Connects to every configured host in the Ansible inventory
• Ansible Ping Validation: Executes ansible.builtin.ping to confirm remote module execution works
• Fast Health Verification: Runs without fact gathering for a quick up/down status check

The playbook targets all inventory nodes to provide a simple, centralized operational readiness check for the full home lab.
