1) the problem we want to solve is to allow to use netjsonconfig via ansible, the generation of the configuration happens on the ansible client, the plugin has to install the configuration on the target successfully.
2) I'm not aware of the difference honestly, we expect students to do their own research and suggest what's the best option to use. 3) I started out with the book "Ansible for DevOps", which is a good one.
