Hi, that is what Ansible terminology calls “managed nodes”. I think these two references might help:

  1. https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/installation_guide/intro_installation.html#managed-node-requirements

  2. https://access.redhat.com/articles/3168091

Ansible 2.5 Managed Nodes:

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (x86_64 only)

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (x86_64 only)

Windows Server 2008, 2008 R2

Windows Server 2012, 2012 R2

Windows Server 2016

Network Devices:

  • Arista EOS
  • Cisco IOS, IOS-XE, IOS-XR, NX-OS
  • Juniper Junos OS
  • VyOS

NOTE: Specific versions of Red Hat Ansible Engine are tested against specific versions
of the above network operating system platforms. Red Hat does not maintain a list
of actual hardware mapped to platforms above. Please refer to the original equipment
manufacturer for complete networking hardware and software compatibility.

Others - unlisted RHEL variants, SuSE, Solaris, AIX, etc.
Commercially reasonable support only (i.e. replicate it on supported platform)

Thanks for information, I have done some testing with CentOS 5 and python 2.7 with alternate path. I did not see any error with basic testing. I would like to know other people experience with different version.
