# Ansible Skill · Cloud Computing and DevOps Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/ansible Ansible is an open-source IT automation tool, originally developed by Red Hat, used for configuration management, application deployment, and orchestration across servers. It uses simple, human-readable YAML files called "playbooks" to define automation tasks and operates agentlessly over SSH. DevOps engineers and system administrators use it to automate repetitive infrastructure tasks and ensure consistent environments. ## Ansible in the job market - Open roles: 121 - Employers hiring: 47 - Median stated pay: $178,000 (middle half $152,000 – $212,000), from 86 of 121 open roles — the 71% that publish a range, annualized to USD.
