Description: Ansible modules are fundamental components that allow users to automate tasks on computer systems. The classification of an Ansible module according to its functionality refers to how these modules are grouped based on the specific tasks they perform. There are different types of modules, such as package management modules, file modules, network modules, among others. Each type of module is designed to interact with various aspects of a system or infrastructure, facilitating the automation of complex processes. For example, package management modules allow for the installation, updating, or removal of software on managed nodes, while file modules are used to manipulate files and directories. This classification not only helps users find the right module for a specific task but also improves the organization and readability of Ansible playbooks, which are the scripts used to define the tasks to be executed. In summary, the classification of modules by functionality is essential for maximizing the efficiency and effectiveness of automation in IT environments.
