Ansible

Ansible, a suite of software tools enabling Infrastructure as Code (IaC). This open source solution provides functionality for software deployment, configuration management and application deployment. Originally developed in 2012 by Michael DeHaan Ansible was acquired by Red Hat in 2015. It was designed to enable configuration of both Unix-like systems and Microsoft Windows. Ansible is agentless and uses temporary remote connections via SSH or Windows Remote Management. The Ansible control node runs on most Unix-like systems that can run Python including Windows with the Windows Subsystem for Linux installed. The system configuration is defined in part by using its own declarative language called YET ANOTHER MARKUP LANGUAGE (YML). Ansible has an inventory which is located in /etc/ansible/hosts.
