Hi

Ansible is an automation tool.  
So, review what system administration tasks you currently are doing  
manually, and try to automate them.  
If you don't have any such task then look at the available collections  
and see if there is something you are familiar with:  
[https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/index.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/index.html)

There is a lot of useful material here which you can practice with or adapt for your setup: [https://github.com/ansible/workshops/tree/master](https://github.com/ansible/workshops/tree/master)  
I’m not sure what you mean by a 4 node cluster but assume you mean you have 4 servers you can automate against.
