What are handlers?

Comment

Handlers are like special tasks which only run 
if the Task contains a “notify” directive. 

1tasks:
2  - name: install nginx
3    apt: pkg=nginx state=installed update_cache=true
4    notify:
5     - start nginx
6 handlers:
7   - name: start nginx
8     service: name=nginx state=started
In the above example 
after installing NGINX we are starting the server using a `start nginx` handler.

What’s a handler?

Comment

In Ansible, a handler is similar to a regular task in a playbook, 
but it will only run if a task alerts the handler. 
Handlers are automatically loaded by roles/<role_name>/handlers/main.yaml. 
Handlers will run once, after all of the tasks are completed in a particular play.
