About Ansible

Ansible is an open-source automation tool that simplifies complex IT tasks such as configuration management, application deployment, and orchestration. Developed by Red Hat, Ansible uses a simple, human-readable language called YAML to define automation tasks and an agentless architecture that relies on SSH for remote execution. Companies seeking to streamline their IT operations, reduce manual intervention, and enhance consistency and reliability across their infrastructure rely on Ansible for its simplicity, flexibility, and wide range of supported modules.
