How industries are solving challenges using Ansible

We often need to automate remote systems which with the hassle of installing agents in all of them but being agentless and totally declarative, Ansible saves the day.

Ansible is a DevOps tool. It is an agentless automation engine that works with all kinds of hosts. It comes with a requirement for the controller node to be a Unix/Linux system, preferably RedHat.

Controller node is the node on which Ansible is installed. The nodes being managed are known as Managed/Target nodes. Ansible uses RAL (Resource Abstraction Layer) to get information about the hosts. Ansible has modules meant for different tasks which makes Ansible intelligent.

In the industry ansible is deployed using Ansible Tower which is an easy-to-use UI and dashboard and REST API for Ansible.
