Description: Ansible ad-hoc commands are single instructions that can be executed on managed hosts without the need to create a complete playbook. This functionality allows system administrators and DevOps engineers to perform specific tasks quickly and efficiently, facilitating the automation of processes in IT environments. Ad-hoc commands are particularly useful for simple tasks or for performing quick tests, as they allow actions such as installing packages, copying files, or executing scripts on one or multiple servers simultaneously. By using the command line, users can specify the Ansible modules they wish to use, along with the necessary parameters, providing great flexibility and control over operations. This feature is fundamental to Ansible’s philosophy, which seeks to simplify automation and configuration management, allowing users to focus on more complex tasks without wasting time on unnecessary configurations.
