Thank you for your contribution @harshavmb! I read through your tutorial and I made some updates, including:

• I made some formatting updates
• I added an example task for os_hardening_rule. The idea is that everyone can follow the tutorial even if they haven't created any rules before.
• I changed the order of the YAML files to the order in which they would be run by Ansible so that it is easier to explain them step-by-step.
• I updated your YAML files to use with_items.
• I removed your explanation in the molecule.yml file and added it in a table below to make the YAML file more clear.
• I removed your example output at the end.

Please let me know what you think.

Once the English version is final, please update the German version accordingly. Please note that the German version is currently missing the first three steps. It begins with "Step 4 - Das Scenario-Layout".

Hi @svenja11 ,

Thanks for your review & apologies for this long delay!

I pushed the changes as per review. I copied few snippets directly from molecule documentation but I rearranged the wording a bit. Nevertheless, if you still spot some, please flag here.

I am not so confident with German version, but feel free to flag the changes for me here.

Looking forward to another round of review from you :)

Thank you for updating your tutorial @harshavmb. I looked at the German version and I have a few comments:

• We decided to use "du" in all community-content tutorials. We still need to update older tutorials. However, for new tutorials we would like to already use "du". It would be great if you could update your German tutorial accordingly.

• In the beginning of the German tutorial you say "Ansible roles", in the rest of the tutorial you say "Ansible-Rollen". In the German tutorial, please change "Ansible roles" to "Ansible-Rollen" for more consistency.

• Ubuntu 24.04 just got available for Hetzner cloud servers on 25 April. It would be great if you could update the tutorial to already include the new OS.

• In "Schritt 3 - Das Scenario-Layout", you forgot to translate the text that explains destroy.yml. (Right above step 4)
