How can I automate configuration deployment in my projects?

You can use tools like Ansible, Puppet, or Chef to automate configuration deployment. These tools help manage and deploy configurations across multiple servers.

What are the benefits of using Ansible for this?

Ansible is agentless, easy to learn, and has a simple YAML syntax. It also allows for idempotent operations, meaning you can run the same configuration multiple times without changing the result.

Can you give me an example of a simple Ansible playbook?

Sure! Here's a simple playbook that installs Nginx:

- hosts: webservers
  tasks:
    - name: Install Nginx
      apt:
        name: nginx
        state: present

How do I run this playbook?

You can run the playbook using the command: ansible-playbook your_playbook.yml. Make sure you have your inventory file set up correctly.
