Summary

In this chapter, we explored the power of configuration management with Ansible, learning to orchestrate our NGINX setup seamlessly. Through Ansible’s capabilities, we’ve initiated package installations, updated configurations, and embraced the efficiency of automated updates. The scalability of these processes has opened new doors for system administration. While we’ve only scratched the surface, further exploration into Ansible can unlock automated deployments of dynamic configurations, TLS certificates, comprehensive firewall setups, and much more. For those interested in deepening their understanding of Ansible, a variety of playbooks can be found at docs.ansible.com.

In the next chapter, we’ll explore the practical applications and real-world scenarios for implementing NGINX.
