Description: Please consider using FQCN for the import_tasks, include_tasks, import_playbook modules to match the style of the rest of the course book.

Also, in my experience students always have questions about the import_tasks vs. include_tasks module behavior. Unfortunately, this exercise uses them in a way that is completely interchangeable. I think the most noteworthy difference is how a when keyword applies to these modules. It would be very easy to add a simple test to these tasks in this play, like checking the linux distro fact, just for students to see how the test gets repeated for each of the 3 firewall tasks.

- name: Include the environment task file and set the variables
      ansible.builtin.include_tasks:
        file: tasks/environment.yml
      vars:
        package: httpd
        service: httpd
      when: ansible_facts['distribution'] == "RedHat"

    - name: Import the firewall task file and set the variables
      ansible.builtin.import_tasks:
        file: tasks/firewall.yml
      vars:
        firewall_pkg: firewalld
        firewall_svc: firewalld
        rule:
          - http
          - https
      when: ansible_facts['distribution'] == "RedHat"

Run it first with RedHat, then have students change it to Fedora and see the tests fail.
