Summary

With this, we come to the end of this rather small but important chapter, which focused on how you can extend Ansible by writing your own custom modules. You learned how to use Python, Bash, and Ruby in order to write your modules. We've also seen how to write integration tests for modules so that they can be integrated into your CI system. In future, hopefully, extending your Ansible functionality using modules should be way easier!

Next, we will step into the world of provisioning, deployment, and orchestration and look at how Ansible solves our infrastructure problems when we provision new instances or want to deploy software updates to various instances in our environments. We promise that the journey is going to be fun!
