Deployment and Installation of the NFS Server using Ansible Automation Configuration Management Tool

Configuration management tools are essential for maintaining consistency, reliability, and efficiency in IT infrastructure. Among these tools, Ansible stands out due to its simplicity, powerful automation capabilities, and agentless architecture. Ansible uses human-readable YAML templates to define configuration states, enabling both system administrators and developers to manage and deploy applications efficiently. This abstract explores the core features of Ansible, including its playbooks, inventory management, and modularity through roles. Additionally, it highlights the benefits of using Ansible in diverse environments, such as reduced deployment times, minimized configuration drift, and enhanced collaboration between teams. By leveraging Ansible's robust and scalable architecture, organizations can achieve seamless infrastructure as code (IaC) practices, ensuring consistent and repeatable system configurations. Aim of this paper is to utilize Ansible for the automated deployment and installation of the NFS Server (NFS) on remote servers.
