Ansible Jobs in Abuja, Nigeria

What is Ansible?

Ansible is an open-source IT automation platform that enables organizations to automate many IT processes usually performed manually, including provisioning, configuration management, application deployment and orchestration. It is designed particularly for IT professionals who use it for application deployment, configuration management, intra-service orchestration, and practically anything else a systems administrator does on a weekly or daily basis.

Ansible is simple to install because it doesn't require any agent software or other security infrastructure. It is at the cutting edge of automation, systems administration, and DevOps, but it is also valuable as a tool for devs to use in their daily work. With it, you can set up not just one machine but a complete network of them at once and does not require any programming knowledge. 

Features of Ansible

Automation execution environments

These environments are packaged as containers. They are defined, consistent and portable, and enable the execution of Ansible playbooks and roles.

Automation controller

The automation controller is a control plane for the Ansible platform. It helps standardize automation deployment, initiation, delegation and audits. It is based on the upstream project AWX.

Automation mesh

The automation mesh enables organizations to automate at scale and in a cloud-native way. It simplifies the planning of distributed, remote and complex automation deployments and provides visibility, control and reporting capabilities. The platform makes use of the automation mesh to spread automation jobs across execution nodes to increase execution capacity for devices that cannot run modules.

Ansible Content Collections and content tools

Ansible content creators and developers can use Ansible Content Collections, or certified modules, to deploy automation faster and more efficiently. Content tools simplify the process of building and deploying execution environments.

Automation hub

The Ansible automation hub enables users to quickly find, use and extend Red Hat-supported content in demanding environments.

2. Ansible is a free, open-source tool, and it's straightforward to set up and use: Ansible's playbooks don't require any special coding knowledge.

3. Ansible can be used to perform simple tasks such as ensuring that a service is operating or rebooting from the command line without the need for configuration files.
