Ansible is a tool used to describe infrastructure and applications and their configuration as code. It covers both the configuration and provisioning aspects of infrastructure and applications.
It is a radically simple IT automation system based on SSH so that it can work without agents or exposed APIs. It handles configuration management, application deployment, cloud provisioning, ad-hoc task execution, network automation, and multi-node orchestration.
It comes in handy when the client currently uses some virtual machines with docker/docker-compose, and no full-blown Kubernetes cluster is available or needed.
