Overview
Ansible® Control Node Server on Ubuntu 24.04
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for support & maintenance. Ansible Server image maintained by Cloud Infrastructure Services.
Ansible is an agentless automation tool that you install on a control node. From the control node, Ansible manages machines and other devices remotely (by default, over the SSH protocol). Unlike Puppet or Chef, you don't have to set up a client-server environment before using Ansible. You can manage multiple hosts from a central location.
Ansible is a radically simple IT automation system. It handles configuration management, application deployment, cloud provisioning, ad-hoc task execution, network automation, and multi-node orchestration. Ansible makes complex changes like zero-downtime rolling updates with load balancers easy. Manage servers on AWS, other cloud platforms and on premises.
Ansible Features
- Configuration Management: Easily manage all of your servers. Change the configuration of an application, OS, or device; start and stop services; install or update applications; implement a security policy; or perform a wide variety of other configuration tasks
- Application Deployment: Make DevOps easier by automating the deployment of internally developed applications to your production systems
- Orchestration: Ansible uses automated workflows, provisioning, and more to make orchestrating tasks easy
- Security and Compliance: Site-wide security policies (such as firewall rules or locking down users) can be implemented along with other automated processes
- Cloud Provisioning: You can provision cloud platforms, virtualized hosts, network devices, and bare-metal servers
- Modules: Modules are like small programs that Ansible pushes out from a control machine to all the nodes or remote hosts
- Plugins: Ansible comes with a number of its plugins, but you can write your own as well
- Inventories: All the machines you're using with Ansible (the control machine plus nodes) are listed in a single simple file, along with their IP addresses, databases, servers, and so on
- Playbooks: A playbook is like a recipe or a set of instructions which tells Ansible what work it has to do when it connects to new machines
- APIs: Various APIs (application programming interfaces) are available so you can extend Ansible's connection types
- Agentless Architecture: No need to install agents on managed nodes, reducing overhead and complexity
- YAML Syntax: Human-readable automation language for easy playbook creation and maintenance

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the running software, billed against your chosen EC2 instance type. Each dimension maps to a specific AWS instance size, so the rate you pay depends on the compute, memory, and storage capacity you select. Smaller instances like t3.nano and t2.micro carry lower hourly rates, while large and metal instances such as u-24tb1.metal and x1e.32xlarge carry higher rates. Pricing scales with the instance you run, not with the number of servers Ansible manages. Vendor support is included with the hourly software charge across every instance option.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each hourly unit covers one running EC2 instance of the type you select, with the Ansible control node software and support installed. The rate reflects that instance's compute, memory, and storage. It does not scale with how many remote nodes Ansible manages from the control node.
The hourly software charge applies only while the instance runs. A stopped instance stops accruing the software fee. Underlying AWS storage fees for the attached volume may still apply while the instance is stopped, since those are separate from the software charge.
This is usage-based billing with no upfront commitment. You pay per hour for the instance type you run, and charges stop when the instance stops. This suits variable or short-term workloads, since you are not locked into a fixed term or fixed quantity.
