        stage ("checkout") {

            steps {

                        checkout([$class: 'GitSCM', branches: [[name: '*/master']], extensions: [],                                                     userRemoteConfigs: [[url: 'https://github.com/akannan1087/myAnsibleInfraRepo']]])

                //to suppress warnings when you execute playbook    

                sh "pip install --upgrade requests==2.20.1"

                // execute ansible playbook

                ansiblePlaybook playbook: 'create-EC2.yml'
