Ansible
A configuration-management tool that automates setting up and maintaining servers by describing their desired state in code (playbooks) — an agentless alternative/complement to tools like Terraform, more focused on configuring existing machines than provisioning new infrastructure.
Think of it like
Like a detailed move-in checklist a cleaning crew follows for every apartment in a building, rather than one crew visiting each unit and improvising.
Junior or senior?
Junior sounds like
Names Ansible as a tool without explaining its role.
Senior sounds like
Can explain the division of labor between it and Terraform — what each one actually owned.
Ask them
“How did your team split responsibilities between Terraform (or similar) and Ansible — what did each one actually own?”
