Few of the basic terms that are commonly used while operating on Ansible are:
Controller Machine: The Controller machine is responsible for provisioning 
the servers that are being managed. It is the machine where Ansible is installed.
Inventory: An inventory is an initialization file that has details about 
the different servers you are managing.
Playbook: It is a code file written in the YAML format. 
A playbook basically contains the tasks that need to be executed or automated.
Task: Each task represents a single procedure that needs to be executed, 
e.g. Install a library.
Module: A module is a set of tasks that can be executed.
Ansible has 100s of built-in modules, but you can also create custom ones.
Role: An Ansible role is a pre-defined way for organizing playbooks 
and other files in order to facilitate sharing 
and reusing portions of provisioning.
Play: A task executed from start to finish 
or the execution of a playbook is called a play.
Facts: Facts are global variables that store details about the system,
like network interfaces or operating system.
Handlers: Are used to trigger the status of a service, 
such as restarting or stopping a service.
