What is Ansible?​

Ansible is an open-source automation tool designed to simplify IT infrastructure management, application deployment, and task automation.

Before diving into Ansible, let's familiarize ourselves with some core concepts:

• Control node: A machine where Ansible is installed and commands are executed. From the control node, we can manage and operate multiple machines.
• Managed node: The remote machine or target being managed. These are the servers or devices you wish to operate on.
• Inventory: A way to group managed machines for easier management.
• Playbook: A blueprint for automation, defining and orchestrating the tasks to be performed.
