Radically simple IT automation
Ansible is a radically simple IT automation system. It handles configuration management, application deployment, cloud provisioning, ad-hoc task execution, network automation, and multi-node orchestration. Ansible makes complex changes like zero-downtime rolling updates with load balancers easy. More information on the Ansible website.
You can install a released version of Ansible with pip
or a package manager. See our
installation guide for details on installing Ansible
on a variety of platforms.
Power users and developers can run the devel
branch, which has the latest
features and fixes, directly. Although it is reasonably stable, you are more likely to encounter
breaking changes when running the devel
branch. We recommend getting involved
in the Ansible community if you want to run the devel
branch.
