Ansible From Beginner to Pro

Throughout this book, you’re going to be introduced to facets of Ansible and how the program can be used to ensure that all of your machines are configured correctly, whether it’s your local desktop or a fleet of remote servers. It’s important to note that this book mostly assumes that you’re on a Linux or OS X machine. While it is possible to run Ansible on Windows, it is highly experimental and not recommended for day-to-day use. If you are on a Windows machine, don’t worry! In this chapter, we’ll explain how to use a virtualized Linux machine as your control system, which means that you can run Ansible just like you’d be able to if you were running Linux or OS X natively.
