Ansible is an open-source automation tool for configuration management, application deployment, and provisioning using agentless playbooks written in YAML. It targets operations teams automating IT tasks across multi-cloud and on-premises environments. Ansible Core is free and open-source, while Red Hat's Ansible Automation Platform adds an enterprise subscription with quote-based pricing. It takes an imperative, task-based approach and is agentless and self-hostable. The platform carries SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliance.
