5. Simple, agentless & powerful. Ansible’s simple,
YAML-based automation syntax is quick to learn
and easy for the entire organization to adopt. By
utilizing SSH (on Linux/Unix) or WinRM &
PowerShell (on Windows), Ansible doesn’t require
an agent to do its magic. And Ansible does so
much more than configuration management…
Ansible can deploy apps and orchestrate complex
tasks that other systems have a hard time doing.
