intro to commands
[[wp:Ansible_(software)]] is an open-source software platform for configuring and managing computers. It combines multi-node software deployment, ad hoc task execution, and configuration management. Written in Python, it is packaged by [[RedHat]]. As of July 2016, we're using Ansible 2.2.0
Ansible provides three main commands:
# <code>ansible-playbook</code> - to execute an Ansible playbook on the specified systems
# <code>ansible</code> - to execute an individual shell command or Ansible module on the specified systems
# <code>ansible-vault</code> - (optional) to encrypt or decrypt YAML files that Ansible uses.
Ansible "[http://docs.ansible.com/playbooks.html Playbooks]" use an easy and descriptive language based on YAML.
