Technical requirements

To follow the examples presented in this chapter, you will need a Linux machine running Ansible 4.3 or newer. Almost any flavor of Linux should do. For those interested in specifics, all the code presented in this chapter was tested on Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS unless stated otherwise, and on Ansible 4.3. The example code that accompanies this chapter can be downloaded from GitHub at this URL: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Mastering-Ansible-Fourth-Edition/tree/main/Chapter02. We will make use of a module that we develop in Chapter 10, Extending Ansible, to show you how to build your own collection, so it is worthwhile making sure you have a copy of the accompanying code for this book.
