This chapter includes examples based on the following technologies:
- Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS
- CentOS 7.6
- Ansible 2.8
To run through these examples, you will need access to a server or virtual machine running one of the aforementioned operating systems and Ansible. Note that the examples given in this chapter may be destructive in nature (for example, they involve installing Docker and running services on the server) and, if run as is, are only intended to be run in an isolated test environment.
Once you are satisfied that you have a safe environment to operate in, let's get started by looking at the installation of new software packages with Ansible.
