The main use case of Ansible is automation of deployment and configuration of servers and applications. For example, I configured infrastructure for a web application, where Ansible playbook automatically installed necessary packages, configured services (nginx, databases), deployed code, and applied security configurations.
A simple playbook example for installing nginx and starting the service:
- hosts: webservers
become: yes
tasks:
- name: Install nginx
apt:
name: nginx
state: present
update_cache: yes
- name: Start and enable nginx
systemd:
name: nginx
state: started
enabled: yes
This approach allows for quick scaling of infrastructure, minimizes manual configuration errors, and ensures repeatability of deployments.
