Ansible
Ansible is an open-source automation tool used for configuration management, application deployment, and task automation. It simplifies IT operations by using YAML-based playbooks to define infrastructure as code, making it easy to manage servers, containers, networks, and cloud environments without requiring agents.

Ansible Execution
sudo ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini firewall_open_mysql.yml
​
Special Note: Change .yml from "all" to localhost to execute on localhost:
sudo ansible-playbook firewall_open_mysql.yml
INI files are used to list and group servers efficiently. They organize server details into sections, making it easy to categorize servers by type or environment, such as production, staging, and development. This structure simplifies configuration management and enhances readability.
