In the previous chapter, we saw how Ansible works and how to leverage it. We have gone through this whole book—up until now—on the assumptions that we were targeting Unix machines, that we were going to write all of our playbooks ourselves, and that the Ansible CLI was what were looking for. We will now move away from those assumptions to see how we can go beyond typical Ansible usage.
In this chapter, we'll explore the following topics:
- Ansible on Windows
- Ansible Galaxy
- Ansible Tower
