Hi to all!

I would like to integrate Ansible and Jenkins using ansible plugin from Jenkins.  
Is it possible to run Ansible commands on remote host from Jenkins, or the idea of Ansible plugin for Jenkins is that both of them are on the same server.  
To simplify, Jenkins is on server1, Ansible is on server2. Is it possible, using Ansible plugin for Jenkins, to run ansible commands on server2 where is Ansible from Jenkins (I already done this with shell commands)

Thanks a lot.

Yes you can target remote servers.

But jenkins plugin needs ansible binaries to run ansible playbooks, so it must be on same server
