What is "Ansible"?
Ansible is a simple and powerful open source tools. It's designed as a tool for automating software setup, provisioning, management, and deployment. Ansible has a agentless structure and uses SSH to send commands to hosts.
Commonly, we called ansible as a configuration management tool.
What is the alternatives of Ansible?
Puppet
Chef
Salt
Why I'm choose Ansible?
"Puppet" and "Chef" have a lot of information and a lot of users. However, they are linguistically complex. "Salt" has less information and a thinner user base.
And "Puppet", "Chef" and "Salt" need to install agent tool. But, ansible is agent-less tool.
