Effortless server configuration
What do you like best about the product?
I love that there is no agent to install on each server that you want to manage. Everything is done over SSH. I started writing playbooks and doing the same actions on multiple servers in minutes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, the documentation is a little vague. More concrete examples would be very helpful for new users. Luckily, there are some good guides online from other sources.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I manage ~400 servers and I needed a way to easily spin up a new VPS and install our application on it. What used to take about an hour now takes about a minute. I also use Ansible for continuous deployment. Application updates are scripted with Ansible and can be on each server almost instantly. Ansible also allowed us to keep a consistent server configuration across our business.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Read the documentation. Almost everything is covered very well, but because it is so flexible they can't put every situation in the documentation. Search online for how others user Ansible in their environments. Search GitHub for playbooks.
