Name

Abstract
Nowadays, many companies involve provisioning large number of servers. Those servers have different roles and respond for running multiple services, which should be maintained in a company. As a result, system administrators should come up with a solution to effectively manipulate those servers and services installed on them. One popular approach is to use configuration management tools.
In this research we will describe problems that system administrators face during large-scale provisioning. Furthermore, we will review and compare most popular configuration management tools to see how they solve these problems. In addition, we will describe the process of implementing and testing several Ansible configuration management scripts.
