Once the environment is all set up it will automatically ssh you into the Control server.

Try the following command to test your infrastucture.

ansible all -m ping

On your control server execute the following command.

ansible centos -s -m yum -a "name=telnet state=latest"

Install Apache 2 on your ubuntu node

ansible ubuntu -s -m apt -a "name=apache2 state=latest"

SSH into your Ubuntu 14.04 node and test it.
