Ansible is a suite of software tools that enables infrastructure as code. It is open-source and the suite includes software provisioning, configuration management, and application deployment functionality. [2]
Handling infrastructure as code prevents problems like unexpected code changes and configuration divergence between environments like production and development.
Together, the teams developed a production-ready Google Cloud architecture, implemented infrastructure as Code (IaC) hosted on GitHub, and established a deployment pipeline using GitHub Actions. The new solution leverages several Google Cloud services, including managed instance groups (MIGs) for flexible and scalable compute workloads.
In April 2020, F-Secure revealed two high severity RCE (Remote Code Execution) vulnerabilities, identified as CVE-2020-11651 and CVE-2020-11652, with CVSS score reaching as high as 10.
