 '''Ansible''' is an open-source software platform for configuring and managing computers. It combines multi-node software deployment, ''ad hoc'' task execution, and configuration management. It manages nodes over SSH and requires Python (2.4 or later) to be installed on them. Modules work over JSON and standard output and can be written in any programming language. The system uses YAML to express reusable descriptions of systems.
-Ansible is a DevOps tool for configuring, deploying, monitoring, and automating servers (among other things). This article will ''only'' discuss the [[Linux]] aspects. Most of the examples will use [[Vagrant]]. However, some of the examples/demos will include [[:Category:Rackspace|Rackspace]], [[:Category:DigitalOcean|DigitalOcean]], and Amazon's AWS as well.
