For an overview of what is Ansible – Getting started with Ansible
For this tutorial we are using 3 VMs, with IPs and hostnames – one Ansible controller/manager (ansible-controller) which will be doing the provisioning on the two remote servers i.e. ansible-node1 and ansible-node2:
192.168.40.192 ansible-controller
192.168.40.193 ansible-node1
192.168.40.194 ansible-node2
192.168.40.193 ansible-node1
192.168.40.194 ansible-node2
‘ansible-controller‘ is the manger node, the one performing the provisioning on the rest of the hosts i.e. on ansible-controller we’ll be installing and configuring Ansible.
