Ansible articles

Ansible is an open-source automation tool, or platform, used for tasks such as configuration management, application deployment, intraservice orchestration, and provisioning. Developed by Red Hat, Ansible simplifies complex automation tasks, making them more manageable and accessible. It uses a simple, human-readable language (YAML) for defining automation jobs, and works by connecting to nodes and pushing out small programs called "Ansible modules" to them. These programs are written to be resource models of the desired state of the system. Ansible then executes these modules and removes them when finished. Its agentless architecture and use of existing SSH infrastructure make it easy to automate tasks across a wide range of systems.
