A job template is a definition and set of parameters for running an Ansible job. Job templates are useful to execute the same job many times.
Syncing your Project
Before you can create a job template with a new playbook, you must first sync your Project so that Controller knows about it. To do this, visit Controller, click Projects and then click the sync icon next to your project. Once this is complete, you can create the job template.

Once again you should be presented with a Job log page. Selecting the Details tab should show you the variable you passed into the playbook among other details.
Next you will be able to see details on the play and each task in the playbook.
Step 7
When the job has successfully completed, you should see a URL to your website printed at the bottom of the job output.
If all went well, you should see something like this, but with your own custom message of course.
Extra Credit
Now that you have IIS Installed, create a new playbook called remove_iis.yml to stop and remove IIS.
Hint: First stop the W3Svc service using the win_service module,
then delete the Web-Server service using the win_feature module.
Optionally, use the win_file module to delete the index page.
