Managing dynamic IT environments is no longer possible without IT automation, which frees IT teams from repetitive tasks, increases productivity and efficiency, reduces the chance of errors, and allows you to do much more with the resources you have.

Among the multitude of automation tools, Red Hat Ansible stands out for its power and ease of use, quickly simplifying the management of even the most complex structures. Ansible is an open-source tool that can be used to automate virtually anything - from provisioning, configuration management, application deployment, and orchestration to security.

The biggest advantage of Ansible is that you don’t need programming skills to use it, because it uses an easy-to-read, natural automation language that both humans and computers can understand. Since Ansible does not use agents, you can remotely install software and change system settings without having to install anything on the systems you control, reducing the load on servers and optimising resource usage.

Want to know more about Ansible? Join us for a free beginner’s level technical workshop on Ansible Automation and see what Ansible is, what it can do, explore use cases, and learn how to use it with the help of experts. Register here to gain hands-on experience and knowledge to use Ansible on your own.
