Description: The script module in Ansible allows users to execute arbitrary scripts on remote hosts. This module is particularly useful for situations where there is a need to run code that is not available as a predefined Ansible module. By using the script module, users can send scripts written in various programming languages, such as Bash, Python, or Perl, to the target nodes and execute them in the context of the remote host’s operating system. This provides great flexibility, as it allows system administrators and developers to automate complex tasks that require custom logic or specific interactions with the system. Additionally, the script module can be used in conjunction with other Ansible modules, enabling the creation of more robust and adaptable workflows. The ability to execute scripts remotely facilitates configuration management and application deployment across multiple environments, which is essential in the era of infrastructure as code and IT automation.
