Configuring Docker and HTTPD server using Ansible Playbook

Task Description

1. Configure Docker
2. Start and enable Docker services
3. Pull the httpd server image from the Docker Hub
4. Run the docker container and expose it to the public
5. Copy the html code in /var/www/html directory and start the webserver.

In this task, I have created an ansible playbook, through which the docker is installed, configured, and started.
