Summary

We started this chapter by seeing why execution environments can help you to create a more resilient automation solution in your environment. We then moved on to a more practical section in which you created multiple execution environments, firstly a minimal one, then one with a customized version of Python, and finally, one with some collections and other dependencies embedded. We then used those execution environments locally using ansible-navigator. We then uploaded them to a container registry and used them from Ansible Automation Controller or AWX.

We have now reached the end of this book, since this is the last chapter, and I would like to thank you for reading the entire book. I hope that it has taught you what you initially hoped to learn about Ansible, and more!
