For the convenience of users who are switching from other configuration management systems, the fact module will also pull in facts from the 'ohai' and 'facter' tools if they are installed, which are fact libraries from Chef and Puppet, respectively. You can also ignore them and save time at runtime execution.

For no particular reason, other than the fact that Michael really likes them, all Ansible releases are codenamed after Van Halen songs.
