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

2. [https://access.redhat.com/articles/3168091](https://access.redhat.com/articles/3168091)

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.
