Ansible on Ubuntu Core

Question

Ubuntu Core is a minimalistic operating system. It uses snap package manager instead of apt. Is it possible to manage a Ubuntu Core device with Ansible?

Answer 1

If the OS has a python installation, you can use Ansible to manage it.. Note that you should check the individual module requirements (for example the snap module) since they may have dependencies which cannot be satisfied by your OS.

In general though the modules are written in python and as such a python runtime is needed.
