More Ansible! I wrote this one for Cprime last year, around the same time as the other Ansible post. Enjoy! Ansible is an automation tool for cloud provisioning, configuration management, application deployment, and other IT operations. You can use it for simple tasks, like deploying and configuring software releases, or for managing complicated multi-tier environments. Ansible doesn’t need agents and works with existing security infrastructure, so it’s easy to integrate into an existing network.

I wrote this for Sensu last year. I had just finished a very large project with Ansible and loved working with it. So naturally the next gig required Salt…. Ansible is a powerful configuration management tool for deploying software and administering remote systems that you can integrate into any existing architecture. It relies on industry-standard security mechanisms and takes full advantage of existing operating system utilities. Ansible uses no agents and works with your existing security infrastructure.
