I suspect that the answers you get to this question will be largely subjective based on different people's distro/OS preferences. That being said, I've been very happy with RHEL7, CentOS 7, and Fedora 21 as the "controller" machine. However, I'm sure OpenSUSE, Arch, debian, Ubuntu, FreeBSD and many others would be fine candidates as well. I think a distro with python 2.7.x and the latest version of OpenSSH client would be good candidates. Also, a possible indication of what works well might be what OS/Distros that Ansible Tower is supported on. -AdamM > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Ansible Project" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/ansible-project/3a210315-8373-4578-9480-57e886a59291%40googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
