On-Containerized Ansible
summary
Claim: using containerized Ansible makes development and runs reproducible by packaging dependencies into execution environments built with ansible-builder and run by ansible-navigator. The demo shows creating an EE from yaml files (galaxy/requirements, bindep), building with podman, and running playbooks inside OCI images, not the host Ansible. Useful features demonstrated: replay/dump debugging without touching targets and collection/module inspection inside the EE. Builder produces a working custom EE (UBI base) that reliably runs the example playbooks.
