### Cons
It is an agent-less tool - every agent consumes up to 16MB ram - in some environments, it may be noticable amount.
It is agent-less - you have to verify your environment consistency 'on-demand' - there is no built-in mechanism taht would warn you about some change automatically (this can be achieved with reasonable effort - but it must be known)
Official GUI Tool (web inferface) - Ansible Tower - is great, but it is expensive. There is no 'small enterprice' payment plan. Easy workaround with Rundeck or Jenkins is possible with reasonable workload.

### Pros
It is an agent-less tools In most scenarios, it use ssh as a transport layer.
In some way you can use it as 'bash on steroids'.
It is very-very-very easy to start. If you are familiar with ssh concept - you already know ansible (ALMOST). My personal record is: 'I did show how to install and use ansible (for simple raspberry pi cluster management) and it tool me 30 seconds to deliver a working tool !!!)'
I do provide a training services - I'm able to teach a production-ready person - in 8 hours (1 training day)! It covers all needed to work aspects! No other tool can match this ease of use!
It executes when you do it - other tools (salt, puppet, chef - might execute in different scenario than you would expect)
Documentation is at the world-class standard!
The comunity (github, stackOverflow) would help you very fast.
Writing own modules and extension is fairly easy.

## Basics on ansible
Ansible uses ssh or paramiko as a transport layer. In a way you can imagine that you are using a ssh with API to perform your action.
In the 'low-level' way you can use it to execute remote command in more controlled way (still using ssh).
On the other hand - in advanced scope - you can use python anible code as a library to your own python scrips! This is awesome! (if you know what you are doing). It is a bit like fabric then.

But ansible is way more! It provides an execution plans, an API, library, callbacks, not forget to mention - COMUNITY! and great support by developers!
