RHEA-2017:2366 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

A new ansible package is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Extras.

Description

Ansible is a simple model-driven configuration management, multi-node deployment, and remote-task execution system. Ansible works over SSH and does not require any software or daemons to be installed on remote nodes. Extension modules can be written in any language and are transferred to managed machines automatically.

This enhancement update adds the ansible package to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. (BZ#1313263)

Users of ansible are advised to install this package.
