Tutorial Series: How To Manage Remote Servers with Ansible

Ansible is a modern configuration management tool that facilitates the task of setting up and maintaining remote servers. With a minimalist design intended to get users up and running quickly, it allows you to control one to hundreds of systems from a central location with either playbooks or ad hoc commands.

This series goes over how to use Ansible to manage remote servers, and how to execute Ansible playbooks to automate server setup.
