Re: [ansible-project] action plugin vs module

[Brian Coca]

action_plugins are a special type of module, or a compliment to existing modules.

action_plugins get run on the 'master' instead of on the target, for modules like file/copy/template, some of the work needs to be done on the master before it executes things on the target. The action plugin executes first and can then execute (or not) the normal module.

Hi. Could You explain me please the difference between an action plugin and a module? Why there is an action plugin and a module with the same name (synchronize)?
