Introduction​

Ansible is an open-source IT automation tool that simplifies and automates various manual IT processes, including provisioning, configuration management, application deployment, and orchestration. It is designed to be minimal, consistent, secure, and highly reliable, with an extremely low learning curve for administrators, developers, and IT managers.

Ansible is primarily intended for IT professionals who use it for tasks such as application deployment, updates on workstations and servers, cloud provisioning, configuration management, and intra-service orchestration. & It enables cross-platform automation and orchestration at scale.

It is created by contributions from an active open-source community. Ansible is designed to be simple, powerful, and agentless, which means it does not require any software or agents to be installed on the managed nodes.

Ansible uses a declarative language called YAML to define automation tasks, which makes it easy to read and understand.
