What all can I do with Ansible?

Question

Ansible comes under configuration management tool but I've heard it can be used for many more things. What else can Ansible do?

Answer 1

Ansible is capable of doing a lot of things:

• Provisioning - if suppose I want to test a code which is written in C++, visual studio, I need to install Visual Studio but Ansible does this for us. It installs all the pre-requisites to make it a suitable platform for us. 
• Configuration Management obviously
• Application Deployment - Ansible towers are able to manage your entire deployment life-cycle
• security and compliance - configure your security details once in the machine and it will be embedded into all the nodes and security process like scanning and all will be automated.
• Orchestration - Define and manage how multiple configurations manage and interact with each other.
