About:
Ansible is a radically simple IT automation engine that automates cloud provisioning, configuration management, and application deployment. It uses an agentless architecture, managing nodes over SSH or PowerShell with no additional software required on remote systems. Its automation language is described in YAML, making it human-readable and easy to adopt for infrastructure-as-code workflows.
Key Features:
  • Agentless architecture requiring no remote daemons
  • Idempotent action system ensuring consistent system state
  • Simple YAML-based syntax for writing automation playbooks
  • Extensive module library for cross-platform system management
Use Cases:
  • Provisioning and configuring cloud infrastructure across providers
  • Managing application deployment and rolling updates
  • Automating repetitive system administration and security patching tasks
Alternatives:
  • Terraform – Terraform focuses on infrastructure provisioning, whereas Ansible excels at configuration management and orchestration.
  • Puppet – Puppet uses a declarative model with a persistent agent, while Ansible uses a procedural, agentless push model.
