> Ansible has a very low barrier to entry in terms of dependencies that need to be installed into the machines you want to manage: they need to have python 2.6+ or python 3.5+, and you need to be able to connect to the machines over ssh.

I understand what you're saying but do understand that to other people these can be concepts that they arn't familiar with or might actively struggle with

That said - were there any obstacles you faced when you started with Ansible?

What could have been better (tooling/docs/training/etc) to get you upto speed better/faster?

Shameless plug: https://hescaide.me/blog/2022/01/29/a-day-with-ansible/

This is after one day of interacting with Ansible. I did have previous experience with Linux and setting up Circle.ci projects and Dockerfile. There are not many concepts to grok. I just cloned a playbook on GitHub and tried to rewrite it to fit my needs, reading documentation over the part I did not understand well. No book or video tutorials were needed.
