Ansible

1) This document provides instructions for setting up an Ansible master server and client for configuration management. 2) Key steps include installing Ansible on the master, adding an Ansible user, editing SSH configs to allow password-less SSH, generating SSH keys, and editing inventory files to add client IPs. 3) The document also demonstrates various ad-hoc Ansible modules like ping, shell, copy, file, and yum that can be run from the master to configure clients. It introduces the concept of groups in inventory files and playbooks as a way to organize and run tasks on clients.
