Hi,

We currently have playbooks for oracle database refresh process running on solaris. We are trying to re-platform the underlying OS to linux, what considerations needs to be taken into account in terms of updating the ansible playbooks ?

Thanks  
Nags

Depends on what you are doing, in most cases there should be little to no action.

If you are using many ‘shell/command’ type of tasks, you’ll have to make sure those are portable.
