ansible: Ping a group of hosts by invoking the ping module.
$ ansible ${group} -m ping
try on your machine
This command is using the Ansible automation tool to perform a ping test on a specific group of hosts.
The breakdown of the command is as follows:
ansiblerefers to the Ansible executable command.${group}is a placeholder indicating that you need to replace it with the actual group name in your inventory file. The group specifies a set of hosts that you want to run a command against. For example, if you have a group named "web-servers" in your inventory file, you would replace${group}withweb-servers.-m pingspecifies the module to use for the command. In this case, the module is "ping". Thepingmodule in Ansible sends a test message to the hosts and checks if they respond, indicating that they are reachable.
When you run this command with the appropriate group name, Ansible will send a ping to each host in that group and report back the result, showing whether each host is reachable or not.
