How I set up a complete Ansible control node on Azure, provisioned a demo VM from scratch using playbooks, installed Nginx via a proper role with Jinja2 templates, and sent a Slack deployment alert — all from a single Ubuntu VM running in Azure.

A senior DevOps deep-dive into one of the most commonly tested Azure networking concepts — traffic direction, use cases, production architecture patterns, and the one-line rule that wins interviews.
