PILLAR OF TECHNOLOGY : ANSIBLE

Ansible seamlessly unites workflow orchestration with configuration management, provisioning, and application deployment in one easy-to-use and deploy platform

According to G2 Crowd, Ansible is a clear leader in the Configuration Management Software category, ranked right behind GitLab.

Centralizing configuration file management and deployment is a common use case for Ansible, and it’s how many power users are first introduced to the Ansible automation platform.This is the main reason by which different companies work with ansible .Some of Companies given below : —

Configurations alone don’t define your environment. You need to define how multiple configurations interact and ensure the disparate pieces can be managed as a whole. Out of complexity and chaos, Ansible brings order.

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) provides scalable infrastructure and solutions to meet the needs of your organization. GCP offers on-demand instances, software-defined networking, storage and databases, and big data solutionsand they’re all available at your fingertip.GCP enables your applications to take advantage of Google’s significant infrastructure, utilizing their best-of-breed technology and innovation, and only pay for what you need when you need it.

The Ansible/GCP integration gives you everything you need to manage your IT infrastructure. From provisioning instances and autoscaling, custom networks and load balancing, and even managing DNS and cloud storage, it’s all provided.

Ansible contains modules for managing Google Cloud Platform resources, including creating instances, controlling network access, working with persistent disks, managing load balancers, and a lot more.

The Ansible open source community is a vibrant, fast-moving place that strives to get things done. Google thrives in open source, but also understands the reliability needs of its users to safely run their infrastructure. Google Engineering actively builds Ansible modules, contributes code and documentation, and helps users deliver their solutions with GCP.

While the community GCP modules are not going away, Google is investing effort into the new “gcp_*” modules. Google is committed to ensuring the Ansible community has a great experience with GCP and therefore recommends adopting these new modules if possible

We can say by using ansible the automation to Google Cloud Platform is quite easy especially in the field of Configuration.Our Future is Automation .Ansible will an significant role
