+## Ansible Vault Guide
+
+### 1. Creating an Encrypted File with Ansible Vault
+
+To create a new encrypted file using Ansible Vault, use the following command:
+
+```bash
+ansible-vault create secret.yaml
+```
+
+You will be prompted to enter a password to encrypt the file. After that, you can add your variables, like in the example below:
+
+```yaml
+password: 123
+```
+
+Once you save and exit, the file will be encrypted. The content of the `secret.yaml` file will look like this:
+
+```yaml
+$ANSIBLE_VAULT;1.1;AES256
+33653733613264663235353662336132376134313266666561363932373236653130393135373562

+35653039343366336233613164313365373466643262303761623363383530396336613438326263
+3536633236376635320a396430353564356331623133653866663138373265363466353663353034

+```
+
+### 2. Using Encrypted Variables in a Playbook
+
+To use the encrypted variables stored in `secret.yaml`, include the file in your playbook using `vars_files`.
+
+#### Example Playbook
+
+```yaml
+- hosts: all
+  become: yes
+  vars_files:
+    - secret.yaml
+  tasks:
+    - name: Print Secret Password
+      debug:
+        msg: "Password is {{ password }}"
+```
+
+This playbook reads the encrypted `password` variable from `secret.yaml` and prints it.
+
+### 3. Running the Playbook with Vault
+
+To run a playbook that uses an encrypted file, use the following command:
+
+```bash
+ansible-playbook main.yaml -i servers.ini --ask-vault-pass --become
+```
+
+- **`--ask-vault-pass`**: Prompts for the Vault password before executing the playbook.
+- **`--become`**: Ensures that the tasks are executed with elevated privileges (e.g., root).
+
+When you run the command, you will be prompted to enter the Vault password to decrypt `secret.yaml` and access the `password` variable.
