Python API
==========

There are several interesting ways to use Ansible from an API perspective. You can use

Developing Plugins
==================
.. contents:: Topics
Ansible is pluggable in a lot of other ways separate from inventory scripts and callbacks. Many of these features are there to cover fringe use cases and are infrequently needed, and others are pluggable simply because they are there to implement core features
in ansible and were most convenient to be made pluggable.

Patterns in Ansible are how we decide which hosts to manage. This can mean what hosts to communicate with, but in terms
of :doc:`playbooks` it actually means what hosts to apply a particular configuration or IT process to.

When ansible-playbook is executed with --check it will not make any changes on remote systems. Instead, any module
instrumented to support 'check mode' (which contains most of the primary core modules, but it is not required that all modules do
this) will report what changes they would have made rather than making them. Other modules that do not support check mode will also take no action, but just will not report what changes they might have made.
