How to Install and Configure Ansible
Configuration management systems are designed for administrators and operations teams to streamline the process of controlling large numbers of servers. [Ansible](https://www.ansible.com/) is a great option for a configuration management system because it doesn’t require special software to be installed on nodes. In this guide, we’ll discuss how to install and use Ansible on your server.
