Learn Ansible - Getting help with ansible-doc

Hey gang! Join Professor Feeser of IRIS7 as we explore how to use Ansible modules and other Python plugins, specifically, with ansible-doc. This help tool is installed along with Ansible, so you just have to know how to use it. While the command structure of ansible-doc is a bit inflexible, using it will take your ability to write playbooks, and understand Ansible, to the next level.
