You are using Red Hat Ansible to change the FortiGate VM configuration.

In using Red Hat Ansible for changing the configuration of a FortiGate VM, the minimum number of files you must create and the file to configure the target FortiGate IP address are:

B. Create two files and use the hosts file.

Ansible Playbook File (YAML): The playbook file, which is typically a YAML file, contains the desired states and tasks that Ansible will execute on the target hosts.

Inventory File (Hosts): The inventory file, commonly named hosts, is where you define the target machines, including the FortiGate VM's IP address. Ansible uses this file to determine on which machines to run the playbook.

By creating these two files, you will have the necessary components to configure Ansible for the deployment. The playbook contains the automation tasks, and the hosts file lists the machines where those tasks will be executed.

References: This structure is specified in the Ansible documentation, which details the use of playbooks and inventory files to manage and configure target systems.
