Ansible
Red Hat's automation engine configures servers by connecting over SSH and running playbooks written in YAML, with no agent to install on the machines it manages. Linux administrators and network engineers use it to make a hundred servers match one description. It overlaps with Terraform but works at a different layer: Terraform creates the infrastructure, Ansible configures what runs on it.
