Ansible is the simplest way to automate IT. Ansible is a powerful automation engine that makes systems and applications simple to deploy to Amazon Web Services.

Ansible Tower is the web management UI for Ansible and is free for managing up to 10 machine instances.

Hundreds of companies like Care.com, HootSuite, Evernote, Gawker Media and edX have discovered that Ansible makes configuration management, application deployment and continuous delivery easy, with no agents or special coding skills required. Ansible Tower takes it a step further by delivering push-button automation in a simple, modern UI and RESTful API.
