This document summarizes the key features and benefits of Ansible, an agentless automation tool. It notes that Ansible is simple to use with a human-readable YAML language that does not require coding skills. It is powerful yet efficient for deployment, orchestration, and provisioning. It has basic features like modules for managing files, templates, packages, and retrieving file states. Ansible also has wide OS support, integrates with major clouds, works with other configuration tools, and has an easy learning curve and extensible plugin architecture. It helps lower maintenance costs and allows more reliable, faster deployments with automated recovery and failover.
