I am tasked with setting up Ansible in my team.

In another team, we setup Ansible in a docker image, and spun up a new container per playbook execution.

Question - what general setup architecture should i use?. (E.g. dedicated ansible control servers, dock  
er containers, cloud instances, etc....)

I’d like to know the point of running ansible in containers. I’m sort of new to this. Would be great if you could help out.
