Hello,

 
I am considering using Ansible to achieve a certain goal, but as I get more 
informed, I feel that Ansible may not be the right tool. Unless, perhaps, I 
missed some information?

 
*Result sought:*

Use Ansible to quickly install softwares on Ubuntu 18.4 computers in a 
computer room (school).

 
*Questions:*

- Create a list of hosts uses IP addresses. But these addresses are not 
fixed, so can't I create the list of hosts by naming them with their 
MacAdress?

- Ansible seems to be designed for connection to servers, machines that are 
constantly on. But the classrooms computers are often in standby, when they 
are not used. I have tried some direct SSH connection and it seems that 
this cannot be done if the target computer is in standby. Is Ansible also 
facing this obstacle?
 

Thank you in advance for your help :)


Seb
