By using Ansible to automate tasks, teams can save time and reduce the risk of errors.
It allows for faster and more reliable deployments, improving the overall efficiency of the software development process.
At its core, Ansible is designed to solve problems and make life easier for developers. Its simple yet powerful syntax allows programmers to develop logical structures, defined by playbooks that execute specific actions. Each playbook can contain multiple tasks.
Let’s start by digging in some automation! 🚀🚀
Getting Ansible installed
Ansible can be installed on most Linux systems using the package manager. For example, on Ubuntu or Debian systems, you can use the apt package manager to install Ansible:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ansible
On other systems, you can use the appropriate package manager (e.g. yum on CentOS or dnf on Fedora) to install Ansible.
Verify installation: Once Ansible is installed, you can verify that it is working correctly by running the ansible command with the --version option:
ansible --version
