Everyday humans evolve and try to make their job as simple as possible. Exactly, the main aim of ansible is to help programmers to automate their job.
App server setup
We all know that a lot of time is taken while setting up a app server, even after knowing the setup prerequisites like installation of packages and then verification takes up time.
Ansible is a great tool used in automation in many areas like software deployment, Configuration management, etc.

-
sudo dnf install git sudo dnf install httpd #we need to allow apache through firewall sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=80/tcp sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=443/tcp # Reload sudo firewall-cmd --reload sudo dnf install mysql sudo dnf install python-devel sudo dnf install mysql-devel

- We used to install these packages one by one,
- Downloading the project from git
-
git clone https://github.com/username/yourrepo.git
