Using Ansible Container

Ansible Container is not, by default, installed as part of the Ansible original installation. We need to install it separately on the container host. To simplify the installation, we are going to rely on Python PyPI to install the necessary packages. Ansible Container needs a container engine to work, so we need to specify one during the install process. The following command line shows how we can install Ansible Container with two engines, Docker and Kubernetes:

pip install ansible-container[docker,k8s]

Ansible Container has a special heavy-lifting container, called the Conductor, which is generated during the build process. The Conductor contains all the necessary dependencies to build a target container image.
