Deploy, Configure, and Automate
The Linode Ansible Collection allows you to execute configuration, deployment, and orchestration functions across infrastructure components. Ansible’s simple automation takes care of the rest.
Rapidly Deploy Cloud Resources
The Linode Ansible Collection includes plugins to quickly deploy cloud resources by running one command as many times as you need to scale. Create playbooks that you can save and execute to increase the speed of infrastructure deployments.
Manage Configuration Changes
Ansible promotes best practices by allowing you to apply configuration changes across virtual machines within a group. Since your actions are documented in a playbook, it’s also easy to patch or revert changes.
Portable Applications using IaC Tools
The majority of business are using multiple clouds to support their infrastructure and applications. Ansible is a popular, open source, IaC tool that can be deployed on any cloud provider and easily migrated as you optimize resources across clouds.
Human-Readable Automation
Ansible uses human-readable YAML syntax. It’s easy to create, share, and collaborate on playbooks. It also makes it easy to reenforce rules for tasks like version controls where a playbooks cannot execute unless specific criteria is met.
