About Modules

modules_intro common_return_values modules_support

Ansible ships with a number of modules (called the 'module library') that can be executed directly on remote hosts or through Playbooks <playbooks>.

Users can also write their own modules. These modules can control system resources, like services, packages, or files (anything really), or handle executing system commands.
