=======
|
|
|
|
Ansible uses a plugin architecture to enable a rich, flexible and expandible feature set.
|
|
They are pieces of code that augment Ansible's core functionality.
|
|
Ansible ships with a number of handy plugins, and you can easily write your own.
|
|
|
|
There are many types of plugins, these are the most relevant ones:
|
|
|
|
.. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1
|
|
:glob:
|
|
|
|
plugins/*
|
|
playbooks_filters
|
|
playbooks_tests
|
|
|
|
Most of the time you are using them without having to know about them, but when you want to change certain behaviours you need to know how to enable,
|
|
activate or trigger each type.
