Hi All,

I am working on one of the automation project to apply oracle patch using Ansible.  
I would like to know is Ansible best solution to automate oracle patch if I have to patch 300+ in single downtime window ?  
what are the limitation of Ansible ?  
is there any license required for Ansible ?

Thanks in Advance.

Yes you can , if you are running via ansible engine (command line) u don’t need anything, license is required when you do via ansible tower
