The community.general Ansible Collection, a bundle of community-maintained Ansible modules and plugins that are not part of more specialized collections. It ships as part of the Ansible package and provides broad automation functionality for Linux and Unix targets.
Use cases
- automate server configuration with ansible
- find community modules for ansible playbooks
- manage infrastructure as code with ansible
- extend ansible with extra plugins
- provision and configure linux servers
- automate repetitive sysadmin tasks
When to choose
- you use Ansible and need modules or plugins not found in specialized collections
- you want community-supported automation content bundled with the Ansible package
- you manage Linux/Unix hosts and need a wide variety of general-purpose modules
When to avoid
- you need to manage Windows target hosts, which this collection does not support
- you need a specialized collection dedicated to a specific vendor or technology
- you are not using Ansible for automation
