Zedlin

Ansible

Run playbooks from anywhere, with nothing else to set up.

Ansible comes inside the Zedlin server, and your servers are already its inventory, with their credentials. There's no control node to keep, no vault file to pass around and no SSH key on a laptop.

Zedlin Ansible page listing versioned playbooks

What you get

Playbooks as a team tool.

Versioned playbooks

Edit in the app; every save is a version you can look back at.

Pick servers and groups

Run on the servers and groups you choose, using the credentials Zedlin already holds.

Check and diff

See what would change, and how, before anything changes.

Live output

Follow each host as it runs, and read any past run later.

Retry what failed

Start a new run with only the failed and unreachable hosts.

Permissions and approvals

Running and editing need the right level and an approval on your device. Every run is in the activity log.

Hosts it can't reach

A host only your laptop can reach still runs, through the device that started the job.

Linux, macOS and Windows

Targets need Python 3.9 or later; Windows hosts run through raw commands.

How it works

From playbook to result.

  1. 1

    Write it

    Create a playbook in the app, or let an AI assistant draft it through Zedlin's MCP, with your approval.

  2. 2

    Run it

    Choose servers, turn on check mode if you like and approve the run. The job continues on the server even if you close the app.

  3. 3

    Read it

    See every host's result, then retry the ones that failed.

Put your playbooks where your team works.

Ansible runs on a Zedlin server you host yourself. Write to us to try it early.
