Ansible

Ansible Implementation and Deployment

Ansible is an open-source automation tool known for its simplicity and flexibility. It enables organizations to automate manual and time-consuming tasks across their IT infrastructure, from configuration management to application deployment and beyond. PDCloudEx leverages Ansible’s capabilities to deliver tailored automation services that empower businesses to work smarter, not harder.

Ansible Features

What is Ansible?

  • Ansible is an open-source configuration management and provisioning tool, similar to Chef, Puppet, or Salt.
  • It uses SSH to connect to servers and run the configured Tasks. Ansible lets you control and configure nodes from a single machine.
  • What makes it different from other management software is that Ansible uses SSH infrastructure. The project was founded in 2013 and bought by Red Hat in 2015. 

Why Ansible?

  • No Agent – As long as the box can be ssh’d into and it has python, it can be configured with Ansible.
  • Idempotent – Ansible’s entire architecture is structured around the concept of idempotency. The core idea here is that you do only necessary tasks and they are repeatable without side effects.
  • Declarative Not Procedural – Ansible works by you writing a description of the state of the machine that you want and then it takes steps to fulfill that description.
  • Tiny Learning Curve – Ansible is quite easy to learn. It doesn’t require any extra knowledge.

Ansible Use Cases

  • Provisioning
  • Configuration Management
  • App Deployment
  • Continuous Delivery
  • Security & Compliance
  • Orchestration

Configuration Management with Ansible

  • Ansible is the simplest solution for configuring the nodes. It’s designed to be minimal in nature, consistent, secure, and highly reliable. Any developer, tester, or IT manager can easily configure nodes. Any IT person can write playbooks easily.
  • Ansible configurations are simple data descriptions of your infrastructure (human-readable) ensuring everyone on your team will be able to understand the meaning of each configuration task.
  • Ansible requires nothing more than a password or SSH key in order to start managing systems and you can start managing them without installing any agent software.
