Using Ansible with Cisco NX-OS
About Ansible
Ansible is an open-source IT automation engine that automates cloud provisioning, configuration management, application deployment, intraservice orchestration, and other IT needs.
Ansible uses small programs that are called Ansible modules to make API calls to your nodes, and apply configurations that are defined in playbooks.
By default, Ansible represents what machines it manages using a simple INI file that puts all your managed machines in groups of your own choosing.
