9. What is Ansible ?
• Open-Source Software tool for provisioning and
configuration management in any environment
(eg AWS)
• Agentless (does require Python on the target
host)
• Describe target host state using YAML
• Includes wide array of modules (written in
Python) and roles (written in YAML) covering
multiple use cases

10. NGINX Ansible Roles
• NGINX
• NGINX Config
• NGINX App Protect
• NGINX Unit
• NGINX Controller (16 highly specialized roles)
TWENTY ROLES TO RULE THEM ALL

11. NGINX Certified Collections
GET ALL ROLES IN A CENTRALIZED PACKAGE

12. Why use Ansible to provision NGINX ?
NGINX: BETTER WITH ANSIBLE
