20. Summary
.Ansible is relatively easy to get started with
.The more tasks you repeatedly execute, the more likely it is you will benefit from Ansible
.Writing Playbooks takes time, YAML isn’t that user-friendly
.Once you have them thought, huge time-save through parallel execution
.Keep in mind clientless architecture and central deployment machine
