The Pros and Cons of Ansible | UpGuardCategory: Software, Business, Data, Infrastructure, automation, yaml, ansible, puppet
Learn about new features, changes, and improvements to UpGuard: Like many configuration management and automation tools, Ansible was originally an open-source project for automating IT infrastructures and environments. Currently their solutions consists of two offerings: Ansible and Ansible Tower, the latter featuring the platform’s UI and dashboard.
For example, Ansible is widely regarded as being easy to learn and use– its Playbooks are human-readable/understandable, allowing for results to be achieved in a shorter amount of time.
Ansible is still early in its efforts to extend support for Windows, with future versions of Ansible ostensibly incorporating deeper Windows interoperability.
As with most things, there is no “one-size-fits-all” solution– Ansible is easy to learn and use, but lacks some advanced features present in more mature competitors' solutions.
