Using Ansible on the RHCSA/RHCE

I just had a silly idea, someone tell me it's silly before I put more thought into it.

If you take the RHCSA or RHCE and let's say you're better at writing Ansible playbooks than maybe actually doing the work in Linux and you use Ansible to configure the tasks assigned, is that cheating or is there a loophole there because RH owns Ansible now?

I don't know the answer to that as it's completely outside of my lane but, this is how I was feeling thinking about it...

Thanks for turning me on to that.

Did some research. It seems that for RHCE 8 (ex294) Ansible is built in.

So for RHCE/SA 7 I guess the answer is, maybe?

idk, as Ansible is fairly new to me...I would assume it is not, but there might be a repository to add it into v7
