Ansible

Ansible is used to automate your interaction with a set of virtual or physical machines (computers). Generally it is most useful to individuals who are tasked with managing a large number of computers and who would find it tedious to manually connect to each machine remotely one at a time and perform the same set of tasks over and over.

Ansible is composed of more than just the ansible executable, there are a number of different programs which typically make up an ansible installation. The programs are listed in the table below.
