Ansible Basics
summary
Introduces Ansible as an agentless configuration-management tool that runs over SSH and is simple to learn. Covers concrete features: playbooks, modules, templates, handlers, roles, inline inventory, and batching/serial execution, and demonstrates a real playbook that edits /etc/hosts, installs packages using distro-specific modules, and runs against VMs reporting per-host results (about 50 of 200 hosts affected). Emphasizes writing idempotent playbooks that produce clear, per-host outcome reporting.
