Ansible's stdout defaults to a very dense, minimal format that is not particularly readoable. (e.g. giant blob of multiline json) As of ansible 2.5, a human readable callback plugin (`yaml`) is built-in, and can be specified in ansible.cfg via `stdout_callback = yaml`. Potential other options are `unixy`, `dense`, or `debug`. A full list can be found here: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/callback_index_stdout.html For more examples, see this blog post: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2018/use-ansibles-yaml-callback-plugin-better-cli-experience
