When Ansible is installed and running on your system, you will use the following main commands:
- ansible-galaxy—Performs various role and collection-related operations, including searching the Ansible Galaxy site for collections and installing them on your system.
- ansible-doc—Provides documentation for usage and supported functionality of Ansible modules. Useful for any storage administrator, site reliability engineer, or Ansible administrator. The EXAMPLES section is particularly useful.
- ansible-playbook—Runs Ansible playbooks.
- ansible-vault—Encrypts or decrypts files used by Ansible that contain sensitive data.
- ansible-lint—Validates Ansible playbooks for syntax (an optional additional Python package that you can install).
