Hello guys

Im new to Ansible and Im engaged on a project to administer nodes on different providers, lets say, some hosts are on AWS, other on Azure, do you have any experience on this? based on your  
experience what would be the best approach for this?

Thanks for your time and support.  
Regards

Have you look at the starting guide [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user\_guide/intro\_getting\_started.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/intro_getting_started.html) and best practices [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user\_guide/playbooks\_best\_practices.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_best_practices.html) ? also have you check out the modules for reach cloud provider you mentioned?

Thanks, I’ll take a look at the modules if that’s the way to handle remote hosts on different providers.
