About:
Ansible is a radically simple IT automation engine that automates cloud provisioning, configuration management, and application deployment. It uses an agentless architecture, executing tasks over SSH or WinRM, which eliminates the need to install any software on managed nodes. Its automation language, written in YAML, is designed to be human-readable and easy to learn.
Key Features:
  • Agentless architecture requiring no remote agents
  • Idempotent task execution ensuring consistent system state
  • Simple YAML-based automation language (Playbooks)
  • Extensive module library for diverse infrastructure and cloud services
Use Cases:
  • Automating server provisioning and configuration across hybrid cloud environments
  • Streamlining CI/CD pipelines for application deployment
  • Managing complex, multi-tier application rollouts and updates
Alternatives:
  • Terraform – Terraform is primarily for provisioning and managing infrastructure state, while Ansible excels at configuration management and application deployment.
  • Puppet – Puppet uses a declarative model with a master-agent architecture, whereas Ansible uses a procedural, agentless push model.
