Version 2.18.4 + Free Support on OpenSUSE 15.6

Ansible is a powerful, open-source automation tool that simplifies IT tasks such as configuration management, application deployment, and infrastructure orchestration. It uses agentless architecture and communicates with managed nodes over SSH, making it easy to automate repetitive tasks efficiently.

Features of Ansible:
  • Agentless architecture, requiring no additional software on managed nodes.
  • Uses YAML-based playbooks for defining automation tasks.
  • Supports configuration management, application deployment, and orchestration.
  • Integrates seamlessly with cloud platforms and containers.
  • Provides modular functionality through Ansible Galaxy and custom modules.

To check Ansible version:

$ sudo su
$ sudo zypper update
$ source ansible-env/bin/activate
$ ansible --version
Disclaimer: Ansible is a versatile and efficient automation tool, but improper configuration or mismanagement can lead to security vulnerabilities or unexpected behavior. Users should carefully follow Ansible's best practices and perform testing in non-production environments before applying changes to production systems. Regular backups and version control are recommended to safeguard infrastructure and data integrity.
