Solution overview
Ansible ad hoc commands are one-time, command-line tasks you run with the ansible command without writing a playbook. They're useful for quick tasks, system maintenance, or any situation where spinning up a full playbook would be overkill, such as checking connectivity, gathering facts, or making a single configuration change across a group of hosts.
This module will teach you how to run ad hoc commands with Ansible, covering the syntax, common modules used with them, and when reaching for an ad hoc command makes more sense than writing a playbook.
