Ansible¶ This is growing into a minimal Ansible reference of sorts, since Ansible’s own docs have nothing like a reference. List of keys that common playbook objects can take. Release tarballs. Ansible documentation for older releases. Run playbook with Ansible: (-f switch allow the execution to be performed on multiple hosts parallel) $ ansible-playbook telnetPlaybook.yaml -f 10. Ansible Modules (-m): These are few but there is huge list. Command – execute commands and this is default module of Ansible. Copy – copy files shell – use remote shell to execute.
