00:00:07,340 --> 00:00:09,590
- Hi, welcome to lesson 11.

2
00:00:09,590 --> 00:00:11,370
This lesson is about plugins,

3
00:00:11,370 --> 00:00:13,310
which are extensions to the default code

4
00:00:13,310 --> 00:00:14,920
that Ansible is providing.

5
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,770
I'll start by explaining
what exactly a plugin is

6
00:00:17,770 --> 00:00:20,010
and how plugins relate to filters.

7
00:00:20,010 --> 00:00:22,340
You'll next learn about
the lookup plugins,

8
00:00:22,340 --> 00:00:25,240
which is the most
important plugin category.

9
00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:27,390
Next, you will see some
of the most commonly used

10
00:00:27,390 --> 00:00:29,080
lookup plugins in action

11
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:30,280
and you'll learn how to work

12
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,690
with a fileglob lookup plugin.

13
00:00:32,690 --> 00:00:35,010
Once you know how to
work with lookup plugins,

14
00:00:35,010 --> 00:00:37,740
we'll have a look at some
more specific plugin use

15
00:00:37,740 --> 00:00:40,760
including discussion of the
callback and timer plugins,

16
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,220
inventory plugins, fact caching,

17
00:00:43,220 --> 00:00:44,780
as well as the plugin that allows you

18
00:00:44,780 --> 00:00:47,260
to generate random passwords.

19
00:00:47,260 --> 00:00:48,460
And at the end of this lesson,

20
00:00:48,460 --> 00:00:51,460
you'll find a lab where you can
configure a plugin yourself.
