Ansible primarily utilizes Secure Shell (SSH) for secure communication with remote machines, simplifying the management of servers without the need for an agent. This TCP-based protocol allows the Ansible control node to initiate connections, sending temporary Python scripts for task execution. Additionally, Ansible offers modules to efficiently manage user permissions, enabling administrators to create, modify, and delete users and groups seamlessly across multiple servers. Writing user management playbooks can greatly ease the administrative burden for Linux and DevOps professionals.
SSH is the backbone of Ansible, allowing connection to remote machines without the need for an agent, unlike other configuration management tools.
Ansible uses a temporary Python script executed via SSH to complete tasks, making it efficient and requiring no permanent changes on the remote node.
