Orchestration

As well as configuration management, Ansible also offers high-end orchestration. This makes the organization and management of the interactions between multiple configuration tasks well-structured. It simplifies and orders complex and chaotic configuration management and administration tasks. According to the status of the infrastructure, and the users' demands, applications, and data-versioned behaviors, Ansible orchestration will generally bring the infrastructure back to the desired state by configuring the appropriate services and policies via the CM tool into the failed component and make it work properly. 

IT orchestration can get very complex when dealing with DevOps class tasks, such as the continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) of applications or infrastructure as a code (IaC). Ansible is capable of converting those tasks to automated workflows that run a number of playbooks in a well-defined structure, featuring all sorts of Ansible pre-defined modules, plugins, and APIs to communicate, execute commands, and report facts from any number of hosts, devices, and services.
