What is the advantage of Ansible? Why not Python or Bash?

Ansible is a tool for automation of configuration and infrastructure management, characterized by simplicity and declarativity.

Why is Ansible better than just Python or Bash for automation:

• Declarative approach: you describe the desired state, and Ansible takes care of achieving it without writing imperative code.
• Idempotency: rerunning playbooks does not change the system if it is already in the desired state.
• Ease of use: YAML syntax of playbooks is easier to read and maintain than complex scripts.
• Scalability: easily manage a large number of servers simultaneously.
• Many ready-made modules: for working with various services, packages, users, etc.
• No need to install agents: Ansible works over SSH, simplifying deployment.
