CI/CD pipeline for infrastructure automation missing Ansible

[ZERONULL]

Unable to use ansible for configuration management. When trying to launch ansible-playbook inventory.yml configure_multiple_vlans.yml from devbox sandbox it shows ansible:command not found. Same hapens with ansible --version. Is it missing ansible and I'am not allowed to install it on devbox sandbox environment or have I misunderstood something.

Hello @ZERONULL,
Welcome to the community!

The development VM in this sandbox runs Gitlab CE(available on http://10.10.20.50) with Gitlab runner in containers so that you can test your CI/CD pipelines. Ansible is available inside the container that runs on the development VM, but not available to run on the VM itself. You should hence try to run your playbook from the Gitlab CI/CD
