What does this Ansible playbook do for RPM installs?

It finds RPMs in a dir, extracts version via regex, yum installs, symlinks to /opt/CPLS/live, verifies with ls.

How to adapt this for my own app RPM migration?

Swap patterns, paths, src/dest. Tweak regex for your filename scheme (e.g., app-ver-arch.rpm).

For trusted internal builds, yes — fast. Prod

Docker 25 drops RPM chaos. One playbook finds files, extracts versions, installs, symlinks—done. Your servers thank you.
