* Ansible seamlessly unites workflow orchestration with configuration management, provisioning, and application deployment in one easy-to-use and deploy platform. * Regardless of where you start with Ansible, you’ll find our simple, powerful and agentless automation platform has the capabilities to solve your most challenging problems. * PROVISIONING - Your apps have to live somewhere. If you’re PXE booting and kickstarting bare-metal servers or VMs, or creating virtual or cloud instances from templates, Ansible and Ansible Tower help streamline the process. * CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT - 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. * APPLICATION DEPLOYMENT - When you define your application with Ansible, and manage the deployment with Tower, teams are able to effectively manage the entire application lifecycle from development to production. * CONTINUOUS DELIVERY - Creating a CI/CD pipeline requires buy-in from numerous teams. You can’t do it without a simple automation platform that everyone in your organization can use. Ansible Playbooks keep your applications properly deployed (and managed) throughout their entire lifecycle. * SECURITY & COMPLIANCE - When you define your security policy in Ansible, scanning and remediation of site-wide security policy can be integrated into other automated processes and instead of being an afterthought, it’ll be integral in everything that is deployed. * ORCHESTRATION - 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. * COMMUNITY-POWERED - Ansible is the most popular open source automation tool on GitHub today. With over 2,000 contributors submitting new modules all the time, rest assured that what you are automating is covered in Ansible already, or will be very soon. * ENTERPRISE READY - Ansible Tower by Red Hat builds on the underlying Ansible automation engine by adding control, security, and delegation capabilities. With Ansible and Tower, your team can automate –and your business can innovate.

* Speed - Written in C. The leanest and fastest solution in the industry with execution time less than 1 second. * Security - The open source configuration solution with the best security record. * Stability - The most mature solution in the industry, conducting hundreds of billions of compliance checks in large-scale production environments. * Scalability - Deploy a model-based configuration change across 50,000 servers in 5 minutes. * Ensure compliance - Define the desired state and configuration of your IT infrastructure, and CFEngine will automatically ensure that it complies. * Automate - Automatically roll out updates and changes to every node in your infrastructure, whether you have 50 or 50,000 nodes. * Everywhere - CFEngine uses autonomous agents which run on every node of your infrastructure, implementing your desired state and reporting back continuously. * Anywhere - CFEngine runs on the smallest embedded devices, on servers, in the cloud, and on mainframes, easily handling tens of thousands of nodes. * Lower operating costs - Automated IT-infrastructures require fewer resources. Lower your system-to-admin ratio by automating with CFEngine – one highly automated organization using CFEngine estimates more than $5 million in annual savings, on labor alone. * Faster response times - CFEngine allows you to change your IT entire infrastructure, large or small, within 5 minutes. CFEngine’s responsiveness and agility allows you to roll out critical fixes quickly and efficiently. * Reduce risk of outages - Unplanned downtime comes at a high cost, and 80% of unplanned outages are due to ill-planned changes made by administrators or developers. CFEngine’s customers ensure that changes to the IT infrastructure are consistent and stay compliant over time – no more risky one-offs or fire-and-forget! * Self healing - Built upon Promise Theory, CFEngine’s self-healing capabilities are unique in the industry. Fix undesired drift automatically – for 2, 20, 200, 2000 or 20,000 servers. * Enables you to grow - One CFEngine customer once had a team of 5 people and 500 servers. Today the team is still 5 people, but the numbers of servers they manage has grown to over 25,000. Investment in automation enables your IT organization to support its business regardless of how fast it grows.
