1 What is Ansible?
Ansible is an open-source automation platform which can help you with configuration management, task automation, and application deployment. Ansible uses SSH installed on all systems, unlike other configuration software that work on agent architecture. Ansible also does IT orchestration where you run tasks and create a chain of events that happen on different servers and devices. It is written in Python language which needs to be installed on the remote host. Ansible is very easy to set up yet it is a very powerful tool for software deployment.
