Ansible

Simple IT Automation

Ansible is the easiest solution to automate applications, entire systems and your IT infrastructure. Ansible makes tasks in your environment a breeze.

Ansible

The simple automation solution

Ansible is the simplest solution for automating applications, complete systems and your IT infrastructure. Ansible makes daily tasks in your Unix and Linux environments a breeze. Every problem has to be solved only once and then rolled out as a playbook on many systems.

Playbooks

Powerful workflow configuration

All configuration information is collected in so-called Ansible Playbooks in an easy to understand description language and rolled out to hosts stored in the host inventory. For this purpose, only a connection to the systems to be configured is necessary and you’re ready to go.

Ansible works in push mode and requires no further installation on the individual systems besides SSH and Python. So you can get started without further preparation with Ansible, as the control of a simple workstation is sufficient.

Foreman – the lifecycle management tool for physical and virtual servers. The Foreman is an open source project that helps administrators manage their systems throughout the lifecycle, from provisioning and configuration to orchestration and monitoring.

Reporting

Foreman offers the most important reporting functions for Ansible – so you have all the important information from orchestration and configuration management at a glance.

Inventory

Ansible collects all the relevant information of the target systems with every run of a playbook. Foreman can display this information and sort it for the user.

Control

Foreman is able to control individual playbooks or complete bulk processes via the web interface, which means a significant reduction of work in Ansible’s everyday life.

Integration into Foreman

Foreman – the lifecycle management tool for physical and virtual servers. The “Vorarbeiter” is an open source project that supports administrators in managing their systems throughout their time of use (lifecycle), from provisioning and configuration to orchestration and monitoring.
