Ansible on Raspberry Pi example

# Create master ansible node
sudo apt-get install ansible
sudo apt-get install sshpass -y

# Check version if ansible
ansible --version

# Create host file and add below lines
sudo /etc/ansible/hosts

[plaatsoft]
pi1
pi4
pi5
pi9

# update hostfile (Add all ansible target clients)
sudo vi /etc/hosts
pi1 192.168.2.101
pi4 192.168.2.104
pi5 192.168.2.105
pi9 192.168.2.109

# Generate private/public ssh key
ssh-keygen -t rsa
cat /home/pi/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

# Login each target client / created authorized_keys and insert public ssh key of ansible master node
vi .ssh/authorized_keys

# Ping all clients nodes
ansible all -m ping

# expected output
pi9 | SUCCESS => {
    "changed": false,
    "ping": "pong"
}
pi5 | SUCCESS => {
