Abstract

There are modules for all of the common system administration tasks available in Ansible. There are currently 495 modules shipped with Ansible, which is a huge increase over the 141 modules that shipped with it in October 2013. Writing your own modules can be a great way to add custom functionality to Ansible so that you can integrate with your internal systems using the same, user friendly syntax that Ansible provides.
