Ansible is a an agent-less orchestration tool which does more or less what Puppet and Chef do. It relies on OpenSSH for transport and YAML for creating playbooks.
Playbook is essentially a list of rules which are applied to a (set of) server to put them in desired configuration.
In this talk, Aditya shows how to execute ad hoc commands on one or more servers as well as create simple playbooks. He also talks about best practices when it comes to using Ansible and how to get maximum benefit from it.
Lastly he shares BrowserStack's story where Ansible really helped the organization in deploying Virtualization (Xen) Servers vs Puppet whose compatibility gave us really hard time.
