Hello,

I’m a little confused about how Ansible works: Since its “clientless” it 
makes it sound like you don’t need to install software on the target hosts 
in order to run playbooks to configure them. From the documentation: 

“Ansible works by connecting to your nodes and pushing out small programs, 
called "Ansible modules" to them. Ansible then executes these modules (over 
SSH by default), and removes them when finished.” 

This sounds like the only place you would need to install prerequisite 
software would be on the “control host” where Ansible is installed, not on 
the remote hosts you want to configure. However, When looking at the 
documentation for the modules, I see things like this:


 “The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.”
boto
boto3
botocore
python >= 2.6


What is “the host that executes this module”?  Is this the control host 
where you installed Ansible or the remote host that you want to change with 
the playbook?

Thank You
