Summary

In this chapter, we have presented you with the Ansible CaC tool. We have explained and demonstrated how moving configuration, from tribal knowledge and documents (as well as describing steps required to get your system to a desired state) to tools that can implement said configuration based on a well-defined syntax brings benefits to your organization, such as repeatability, ability to run many configurations in parallel, automated tests, and execution.

In the next chapter, we are going to introduce you to Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
