Using Ansible on Windows and BSD

Note

Making Open Source More Inclusive

Red Hat is committed to replacing problematic language in our code, documentation, and web properties. We are beginning with these four terms: master, slave, blacklist, and whitelist. We ask that you open an issue or pull request if you come upon a term that we have missed. For more details, see our CTO Chris Wright’s message.

Likewise managing hosts that run BSD is different to managing other Unix-like host operating systems. Find out everything you need to know about using Ansible on Windows and with BSD hosts.
