Hello, all.
I hope this is the correct group to post this. I am trying to learn more about Ansible.
I wanted to find if it is possible to use Ansible to remotely push configuration and software installs to machines with a brand new OS (Linux) installed, specifically desktop/workstation installs.
I often deploy virtual machines running either Ubuntu Desktop or Server, Fedora, and CentOS at home for testing and usually every time there’s a new version of Fedora to my laptop. I have custom shell scripts that I use for post-provision that usually configures a custom .bashrc, complete updates and installs software.They work well, the inconvenience of it is trying to get the custom shell scripts onto the machine right after OS installation.
I have some examples of what I have created here:

I was curious if it is possible to setup a main (CentOS) server running Ansible that could push configurations, updates and software to my new machines once they are complete. Is this possible?
Thanks.
