Introduction

This information explains Ansible and the Dell EMC Ansible integration.

Ansible

Ansible is a simple agentless automation framework. It can configure systems, deploy software, and orchestrate more advanced IT tasks such as continuous deployments or zero downtime rolling updates. Ansible supports network automation as part of its core framework.

See Integration: Network Automation with Ansible for more information.

Starting with Ansible 2.3, the Ansible core supports Dell EMC modules. You can use these to manage and automate your Dell EMC switches running OS6, OS9, and OS10. All modules are currently executed in local connection mode, using CLI and SSH transport.
