title: Is it possible to call ansible or ansible-playbook directly on a target host using a script or ansible itself?
body: <p>I need to know if it's possible to call / execute ansible playbooks from the target machine. I think i saw a vendor do it or at least something similar. they downloaded a script and it did ran the playbook.</p>
  
  <p>if this is possible how would it be done?</p>
  
  <p>my goal is to run ansible as a centralized server in aws to perform tasks in mulitple environments. most are behind firewalls, any reccomendations/thoughts would be appreciated.</p>
