In the previous chapter, we outlined and discussed how to construct Ansible playbook's and inventory host files. This knowledge will help us get up and running with Ansible quickly and is a great foundation to build from. We looked at how to leverage these implementations to target groups of infrastructure and began to see some of the power that Ansible provides. While Ansible was designed with simplicity as its core design construct, that does not mean it is not highly scalable and flexible. In many ways, Ansible's real power and scalability comes from its modular design and simplistic implementation standards combined with an effectively customizable playbook and role design pattern.
While the implementations we have learned thus far have their place and purpose (as basic constructs, and foundational elements), can you imagine...
