Ansible
Ansible is an agentless automation platform whose name is based on the hyperspace communication system, which features in science fiction literature. It is easy to set up, but powerful. It can play a role in configuration management, application deployment, and task automation. It is also suited for IT orchestration as a whole, where you have integrated security with the Ansible Tower backend and run tasks in sequence and create a chain of events that run on multiple different servers or devices. In our basic infrastructure example, for instance, it can run tasks for all web servers in the web group.
We are going to use Ansible to configure all the systems after they are provisioned with Terraform in the AWS infrastructure.
