Ansible is a suite of software tools that enables infrastructure as code. The suite is open-source and includes software provisioning, configuration management, and application deployment functionality.

Originally written by Michael DeHaan and acquired by Red Hat in 2015, Ansible is designed to configure Unix-like systems and Microsoft Windows. System configuration is defined in part by using its declarative language. Ansible is agentless, relying on temporary remote connections via SSH or Windows Remote Management, allowing PowerShell execution. The Ansible control node runs on most Unix-like systems that can run Python, including Windows, with WSL installed.
