You can use it to manage resources such as dashboards, Cloud stacks, folders, and more. The collection also houses the [Grafana Agent role](https://github.com/grafana/grafana-ansible-collection/tree/main/roles/grafana_agent) which can be used to deploy and manage Grafana Agent across various Linux machines. {{< docs/shared lookup="agent-deprecation.md" source="alloy" version="next" >}} For resources currently not available in the Grafana Ansible collection, you can manage those resources on Grafana Cloud programmatically by writing Ansible playbooks that use the [Ansible's builtin uri module](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/builtin/uri_module.html) to call the [HTTP APIs](/docs/grafana/latest/developers/http_api/) to manage resources for the Grafana Cloud portal, as well as those within a stack.
