A systems administrator is tasked with implementing an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solution to manage a large number of Linux servers. A key requirement is to avoid installing any client software or agents on the target servers. The administrator chooses Ansible for this task. Which Ansible component is used to define the list of servers that Ansible will manage?
The correct answer is Inventory. In Ansible, the inventory file is a text file (in INI or YAML format) that specifies the hosts and groups of hosts that Ansible will manage. A playbook defines the tasks to be executed. A module is a unit of code that Ansible executes to perform a specific task, such as installing a package or copying a file. Facts are pieces of information gathered by Ansible about the remote systems, such as their operating system or IP address.
