Provisioning

Instance provisioning using Ansible covers the configuration and setup of bare-metal machines and servers. It relies on its predefined APIs to create and configure the local virtualized infrastructure. It can also manage hybrid, private, and public cloud instances, resources, and applications. Ansible can automatically install and configure an application and its libraries. It uses OS bootstrap and a kickstart script to initiate bare-metal machine provisioning using very simple playbooks and built-in modules. Using the same simple playbooks and different modules, Ansible can also provision instances, networking, and VMs in a public, private, or hybrid cloud very easily.
