Ansible is an open-source automation tool written in Python. It runs on UNIX-like systems and can arrange and design both UNIX-like and Windows frameworks. Unlike other automation software, Ansible does not require an agent to run on a target system. It is on the SSH connection and python compiler the given tasks on the target system. Ansible can be introduced on a cloud server to manage other cloud servers from a central location, or it can likewise be configured to use on an individual framework to oversee cloud or on-premises frameworks. Configuration management systems are designed to make controlling large numbers of servers easy for administrators and operations teams.
