Exam XK0-004 topic 1 question 43 discussion

Ansible is a radically simple IT automation engine that automates cloud provisioning, configuration management, application deployment, intra-service orchestration, and many other IT needs. Designed for multi-tier deployments since day one, Ansible models your IT infrastructure by describing how all of your systems inter-relate, rather than just managing one system at a time. It uses no agents and no additional custom security infrastructure, so it's easy to deploy - and most importantly, it uses a very simple language (YAML, in the form of Ansible Playbooks) that allow you to describe your automation jobs in a way that approaches plain English https://www.ansible.com/overview/how-ansible-works

Ansible is Agentless. https://vceguide.com/which-of-the-following-configuration-management-tools-is-considered-agentless/

Besides monitoring, logging, and reporting utilities, several high-level orchestration engines provide agentless orchestration too. One such example is Red Hat’s Ansible.
