Ansible is an IT automation tool that configures systems, deploys software, and coordinates complex workflows across large infrastructures. It uses human-readable YAML playbooks to define desired states, supports an agentless model via SSH or WinRM, and relies on modular plugins and modules for handling tasks. Playbooks are idempotent, meaning repeated runs converge to the same state, which simplifies maintenance and reduces drift. Ansible excels at configuration management, application deployment, continuous delivery, and multi-tier orchestration, with inventory management, roles for reusable tasks, and strong security practices through centralized vaults and credentials handling.
