Since Ansible 2.10, ansible-core (renamed from ansible-base to ansible-core in version 2.11) is provided.
ansible-core includes just basic modules and plugins, therefore other required modules have to be downloaded from Ansible-Galaxy.
The traditional packaged ansible that includes ansible-core and all other modules is also released as a community version.
The following table shows versions of ansible-core included Ansible.
