Quote:Īnsible Tower(formerly ‚AWX‘) is a web-based solution that makes Ansible even more easy to use for IT teams of all kinds. Tower, now Ansible Automation Platform) aims to provide a continuous deployment experience for Ansible. Thus we want shorter, more frequent cycles and consistent deployments to avoid our infrastructure code becoming stale and risky. Infrastructure code that is not deployed on a regular basis tends to become riskier to deploy each day, since it’s better to discover errors promptly so that they can be traced back to recent code changes and we all know that people make undocumented hand-crafted changes that are then overwritten and all goes up in flames. The next logical step is then to use automate the deployment of this single source of truth, to make sure changes are applied in a timely/consistent manner. We shift to continuous integration, start testing and verifying changes to the code base. By creating one or more central Ansible repositories, we create a single source of truth for our infrastructure. Once a simple Ansible setup is up & running and things start to scale to more contributors, servers or services, it is usually necessary to automate the integration of code changes. Ansible also ships with an extensive standard library and has a large selection of modules to extend functionality.
management servers or agents to install). Meaning, it requires no substantial additions to existing infrastructure (e.g. on your machine) with SSH access to the infrastructure you want to manage is sufficient for getting started. It offers a rather low barrier of entry, when compared to other tools. Ansible is a configuration management tool to automate tasks in your IT infrastructure.
