In this chapter, we took a brief look at some of the supporting tools that ship as part of a standard Ansible installation, as well as some useful third-party tools that have been designed to work with Ansible. We will be using these commands, as well as the few we have purposely missed, in later chapters.
In our next chapter, we are going to make a start by writing a more complex playbook that installs a basic LAMP stack on our local Vagrant box.
