Ansible Execution Environments

Ansible Automation Execution Environments are container images that are purpose-built with the exact requirements of your automation.  These container images are used in local development and testing and the Ansible Automation Platform, eliminating environmental differences that cause unpredictable results. 

This learning module is designed to teach you about Ansible Execution Environments. 

By the end of this module, you will:

1. Understand What Execution Environments (EE) Are
2. Understand How EEs are Defined
3. Understand the ansible-builder Command Line Tool
4. Experienced building a custom EE

The hands-on lab included in this module guides you through building an automation execution environment to be used in later modules.
