An Ansible playbook is a YAML file that defines work for a configuration management system and is used for defining and running multi-machine deployment sequences. It provides a series of tasks to automate the configuration of managed nodes. The correct answer is 'To define and run a series of tasks to configure managed nodes' because playbooks are Ansible's primary method for automation execution. The incorrect answers are closely related terms or Ansible components but do not correctly describe the function of an Ansible playbook.
