Using ansible we can perform ad-hoc commands, useful for a one-off thing that won't require writing a full playbook.

Some examples include:
update apt cache:
```
ansible <pattern> -m ansible.builtin.apt -a "update_cache=true cache_valid_time=3600"
```

update packages:
```
ansible <pattern> -m ansible.builtin.apt -a "name=* state=latest"
```

run puppet:
```
ansible <pattern> -a "/opt/puppetlabs/bin/puppet agent --test"
```

reboot:
```
ansible <pattern> -m ansible.builtin.reboot -f 1
```
