Before installing you are required to enable the repository that you get when buying rhel 7, and the epel repository to take ansible from a third party in the following ways:

After finishing installing Ansible you can make sure that Ansible has been installed by looking at the version.

# ansible --version

Configure

let's try ansible by simply ordering a basic command to see the disk in the client.

so that ansible can run to the client, it is required that from server to client, they can log in without a password.

If you can't, you can follow the method first here: How to Setup SSH Login Without Password on RHEL 7

Continue to the next step, you must register the hosts client in the ansible settings.

.....

save & exit

Trying

After you have done what follows from the explanation above. it's time for you to try it on the server that was installed earlier.

# ansible -m command -a "df -hT" -u root webservers
