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.
