Configuration management

With Ansible, you can cleverly automate the configuration of servers. Whether you are configuring servers, deploying applications or managing networks - everything runs easily, quickly and securely. Ansible uses YAML files (playbooks) that are easy to understand to describe processes. You don't need any additional software on the target systems, everything runs via SSH. Imagine you want to install software on dozens of servers at the same time: With Ansible, it's child's play. This saves you time, avoids mistakes and keeps you in control. Ready to make your infrastructure more efficient?

An Ansible Playbook is the heart of automation with Ansible. This is a YAML file (Yet Another Markup Language) that describes in detail which tasks are to be executed on one or more target systems. In playbooks, you define step by step which configurations, installations or actions are to be carried out. Think of a playbook like a recipe: Each step (task) is clearly described so that Ansible knows exactly what to do - from installing software to configuring services. Thanks to this structure, you can automate complex processes easily and repeatably without having to constantly intervene manually.

Implementation depends on the complexity of the IT infrastructure. In smaller environments, Ansible can be set up in just a few days. In larger, distributed environments, implementation can take longer, especially if existing processes need to be automated.

Ansible Galaxy is a repository of reusable roles and modules created by the community. It offers a variety of predefined roles for common use cases that can help you implement solutions faster without having to write everything from scratch.

Yes, Ansible also supports the management of Windows servers. You can use Ansible Playbooks to automate Windows-specific tasks such as software installation, patch management or configuration changes.

Ansible differs from other automation tools due to its agentless architecture. It requires no additional software on the target systems and communicates via simple protocols such as SSH. This makes Ansible lightweight and easy to implement. In contrast to other tools, which often require a complex environment, Ansible relies on simple, understandable YAML files (playbooks) to describe tasks. It also offers strong integration with cloud platforms and networks, making it a versatile tool for a wide range of IT environments.
