The following list presents advantages of installing Identity Management using Ansible in contrast to manual installation.
- You do not need to log into the managed node.
- You do not need to configure settings on each host to be deployed individually. Instead, you can have one inventory file to deploy a complete cluster.
- You can reuse an inventory file later for management tasks, for example to add users and hosts. You can reuse an inventory file even for such tasks as are not related to IdM.
