Ansible

Ansible is an open-source automation tool used to manage and configure computers and software systems. It allows users to automate repetitive tasks, such as installing software, managing systems, and orchestrating complex workflows. By using simple scripts called "playbooks," Ansible helps ensure that systems are set up consistently across multiple machines. It operates without needing to install agents on each system, communicating over standard protocols like SSH. This makes it efficient and easy to use, making it popular among IT professionals for improving productivity and reducing human error in system management.
