* Control machine - (Management node)
* Remote machine - (managed node)
* playbook - contains one or multiple plays, each of which define the work to be done for a configuration on a managed server. Playbooks are written in YAML. Every play in the playbook is created with environment-specific parameters for the target machines; there are no standard plays.
* Inventory file - defines the hosts and groups of hosts upon which commands, modules, and tasks in a playbook operate.
