Ansible has a lot of small modules and one can use them to perform small objectives. The student here needs to write a custom module that will serve a small purpose. It can basically do anything that helps them do some task. Research: Not reinventing the wheel, just for learning purpose. Basic modules like copying a file, changing permissions etc, are small and doable from a new contributor. This is just for learning purpose.

Goal

To write a module that can be used in ansible

Suggested approach

• Figure out a small goal
• Understand how ansible works and how it handles modules
• Find blogs that cover ansible module writing
• come up with a $operation.py module

Deliverables

Put the module in a github repo and share the link with the mentor (vipul@redhat.com)
