+1 to  "one of the cool things about Ansible is that it's
agentless"


That point goes along way with me, so many systems want to install
agents, over time, you seem to have more agents than base server !

IMO one of the cool things about Ansible is that it's agentless. So
when there's a vulnerability, you just update the package on the host
which is going to run the jobs and you're good to go (as opposed to
having vulnerable services/agents running on each node on your
network).
