    Ansible is a radically simple IT automation platform that makes your applications and systems easier to deploy and maintain. Automate everything from code deployment to network configuration to cloud management, in a language that approaches plain English, using SSH, with no agents to install on remote systems. https://docs.ansible.com.

    That being said, my recommendation is to look into Ansible -- https://www.ansible.com/. It's syntax is trivial and the greatest advantage is that you only need ssh and Python on the remote system and you're good to go. Even if you don't have root access, if you have ssh you should be able to deploy your configuration files. As a templating engine, Ansible uses Jinja2, which is also quite easy to start with.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
