This tutorial will teach you how to install Ansible on an Ubuntu server and connect a minion server to the Ansbile control server. We will then create an Ansible playbook which will be used to install some basic software packages on the minion server.

Ansible is installed on a server and is used as the control station which stores and applies “states” to servers you choose to connect to it.

Once Ansible is installed we can add the ip address of our web server to the /etc/ansible/hosts file.

You have now learned how to connect a server to your Ansible control server and install packages using the apt module.
