In practice, you'll need at least one virtual machine as a control machine and one as a node. It doesn't matter which Linux distribution you're using. The examples in this section to orchestrate the node are for an Ubuntu node, but it's easy to translate them to other distributions.
In this chapter, multiple orchestration tools are explored. For every tool, you'll need a clean environment. So, when you are finished with the Ansible section in this chapter, remove the virtual machines and deploy new ones before going into SaltStack.
