Ansible troubleshooting - failure downloading

The best way of talking about Ansible troubleshooting is to jump in a live demo to show you practically the failure downloading error and how to solve it!
Today we’re going to talk about Ansible troubleshooting, specifically about failure downloading.
Downloading content from the internet sometimes you might receive the failure downloading
error. The root cause is usually a misspelled URL or a content moved by the website. This error is most of the time caused by the HTTP 404 error. Double check the URL in your browser before using it in Ansible.
A wrong (HTTP 404 error) URL lead to the Ansible error failure downloading
.
I’m Luca Berton and welcome to today’s episode of Ansible Pilot.
