As you have seen from the very long list of modules, you can do pretty much most of the common tasks you would be doing as a VMware administrator using Ansible. Add to this the modules we looked at in Chapter 7, The Core Network Modules, for managing network equipment, and also modules such as the ones that support NetApp storage devices, and you can build some quite complex playbooks which span the physical devices, VMware elements, and even the virtual machines running within your virtualized infrastructure.
In the next chapter, we will see how to build our Windows servers locally using Vagrant and then take our playbooks to the public cloud.
