Ansible

Simple open-source IT automation engine

About Ansible

Ansible is an open-source automation engine that manages provisioning, configuration management, application deployment and orchestration through human-readable YAML playbooks. It connects to servers over SSH without requiring agents installed on the machines it manages, which makes it approachable for teams automating anything from a handful of servers to large fleets. A large community library of roles and collections covers common systems and cloud services, so you rarely start from scratch. The open-source project is free to use; organizations that need governance, analytics, certified content and support can move up to the paid Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform subscription.
