 Ansible

Ansible is a radically simple IT automation system. It handles
configuration management, application deployment, cloud provisioning,
ad-hoc task execution, network automation, and multi-node orchestration. Ansible makes complex
changes like zero-downtime rolling updates with load balancers easy. More information on the Ansible website.

 Design Principles

 Have an extremely simple setup process with a minimal learning curve.
 Manage machines quickly and in parallel.
 Avoid custom-agents and additional open ports, be agentless by
  leveraging the existing SSH daemon.
 Describe infrastructure in a language that is both machine and human
  friendly.
 Focus on security and easy auditability/review/rewriting of content.
 Manage new remote machines instantly, without bootstrapping any
  software.
 Allow module development in any dynamic language, not just Python.
 Be usable as non-root.
 Be the easiest IT automation system to use, ever.

 Use Ansible

You can install a released version of Ansible with pip or a package manager. See our
installation guide for details on installing Ansible
on a variety of platforms.

Power users and developers can run the devel branch, which has the latest
features and fixes, directly. Although it is reasonably stable, you are more likely to encounter
breaking changes when running the devel branch. We recommend getting involved
in the Ansible community if you want to run the devel branch.

 Communication

 Contribute to Ansible

 Check out the Contributor's Guide.
 Read Community Information for all
  kinds of ways to contribute to and interact with the project,
  including how to submit bug reports and code to Ansible.
 Submit a proposed code update through a pull request to the devel branch.
 Talk to us before making larger changes
  to avoid duplicate efforts. This not only helps everyone
  know what is going on, but it also helps save time and effort if we decide
  some changes are needed.
