Frequently Asked Questions
What is Infrastructure as Code?
Infrastructure as Code defines systems and configurations in version-controlled files rather than manual steps. It makes changes repeatable, reviewable and easy to roll back.
How does Ansible automate network devices?
Ansible runs playbooks of tasks over SSH or APIs, using modules to push configuration. Jinja2 templates generate device-specific settings from shared variables.
Can Ansible enforce security baselines?
Yes. Playbooks can apply and re-check hardened settings across many devices, reducing drift. This advanced Codelivly room is free and shows how to build them.
