Ansible

This document provides an overview of Ansible, an open source IT automation tool. It discusses key Ansible concepts like Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using descriptive coding to automate provisioning. Ansible uses modules to provision containers, virtual machines, and cloud resources. Playbooks allow running modules across remote nodes from a single machine for configuration management and deployment. Ad-hoc commands can run individual tasks, while variables, lists, facts, and Ansible Vault are also covered at a high level.
