I am new to ansible, i have the script in the remote machine and the script name is ssh.sh which contains below lines to ssh into some another server and run the script,

ssh @${server} "sh /tmp/script.sh"

the question is if i use shell module to call to the script ssh.sh in the playbook as below, will the ssh command with the above line will work or not???

- hosts: all  
&nbsp;&nbsp;tasks:  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- name: invoke the script  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;shell: sh ssh.sh  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;register: result

So what's the purpose of this task and why do you need Ansible for it?
