Installing the Ansible Control Node
Get Ansible running on your control machine.
The Control Node
Ansible runs from one machine called the control node. You install Ansible there, and it reaches out to all your other servers. 🚀
Managed Nodes Stay Clean
The servers you manage are managed nodes. They need nothing installed: Ansible connects over SSH, so your fleet stays untouched.
