The Ansible playbook provided in the exhibit performs the following tasks:

Uses the ios_command module to issue the show conf command on the CISCO_ROUTER_01 device.

Registers the output of the command into the variable config.

Copies the content of config.stdout[0] (the first line of the command output) to a file in /etc/ansible/configs/.

This sequence of tasks effectively backs up the running configuration of the router by capturing the current configuration output and saving it to a file.
