Ansible

Automate IT — simple, agentless IT automation that anyone can use.

Ansible is an open-source IT automation engine that automates cloud provisioning, configuration management, application deployment, and intra-service orchestration. It uses a simple, human-readable YAML syntax for its playbooks, making automation accessible without specialized coding skills. Operating over SSH/WinRM without requiring any agent software on managed nodes, Ansible is lightweight and non-intrusive. Its extensive collection of modules covers every aspect of infrastructure management, and its idempotent execution model ensures safe, repeatable operations. Ansible Galaxy provides a repository of community-contributed roles and collections for common automation patterns. Backed by Red Hat, Ansible scales from managing a handful of servers to orchestrating thousands across global data centers.
