Ansible is an open-source automation platform that allows you to automate tasks such as deployment, configuration, and management of your infrastructure and applications. It uses a simple, human-readable language called YAML to describe the desired state of your systems, and then communicates with various resources to ensure they are in that state. Ansible is easy to use and learn, flexible, and has a large community of users and developers. It can be used to automate a wide range of tasks, from simple ones to more complex ones, and improve the efficiency and reliability of your systems
