Technology explained

What is Ansible?

Ansible is an automation platform for configuring systems, deploying applications and orchestrating repeatable operational changes. This profile connects the concept to KBY's practical engineering guidance.

Ansible uses human-readable YAML playbooks and normally connects over existing transports such as SSH or WinRM, avoiding a permanent agent on managed hosts. Modules express idempotent tasks while inventories, roles and collections organise automation across environments.
