Ansible is _the_ generic IT orchestration engine. Ansible literally allows to manage your whole infrastructure, not only VM and servers, but network devices like cisco nexus, various cloud providers (aws, cloudstack, openstack), use DNS service providers, interact with loadbalancers such as netscaler or haproxy, manage system configurations (windows, linux or unix), orchestrate your docker containers, handle notifications, interact with monitoring tools, and deploy app in a rolling updates, rollback on errors, etc while .. and this is the most important part... keeping things relatively simple and readable. I can recommend a very well written book (shameless self plug) http://www.ansiblebook.com/ ;) René
