In all areas of life, there are a lot of issues we are not aware of. To measure these problems, we use the so-called fulfillment rate. For example: with a fulfillment rate of 90%, a heart beat would stop every 85 seconds, and an average A4 page of text would contain 30 typos. A fulfillment rate of 99.9% (which seems a lot) still means 22,000 wrong bank bookings per hour, and a total of 32,000 missed heart beats per year. The answer is automation and standardization! These approaches help solve problems we are often not aware of.

You can use Ansible to configure managed hosts within orcharhino. For our up-to-date documentation, see Configuring Hosts using Ansible. Ansible is an automation engine and configuration management tool. It works without client and daemon and solely relies on Python and SSH. Ansible consists of a control node, for example a notebook, a workstation, or a server and managed nodes, that is the hosts in its inventory. You can use Ansible to configure hosts similar to Puppet and Salt.

Tools like AWX and Ansible Automation Platform have become essential in large organizations to manage a large amount of Ansible projects. They provide the ability to pull Ansible code from multiple sources, schedule jobs, distribute credentials and permissions for different users in the organization, and a lot more. We recommend managing Ansible code in a version control system, specifically Git. There are several platforms for functions beyond mere version control. In this article, GitLab plays a central role.
