Summary Traditional CI/CD tools like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, and Azure DevOps (ADO) offer powerful pipeline features, but they often tightly couple your automation logic to their platforms. This creates a problem when switching tools or scaling across teams. By using Ansible as the central workflow engine—and treating GitHub, GitLab, or ADO as lightweight orchestrators—you can build a modular, portable CI/CD system. This hybrid approach enables tool-agnostic pipelines and promotes reuse across projects and platforms. Why Use Ansible in CI/CD? Portability: Move your pipeline between GitHub, GitLab, or ADO without rewriting core logic. Modularity: Write Ansible playbooks for each stage (build, test, deploy) and reuse them across environments. Maintainability: Keep your workflow logic in version-controlled, testable, and readable YAML files. Tool Independence: Avoid vendor lock-in by abstracting workflow logic into a standalone orchestration ...
