Network Automation Ansible Deploy Email Server Running Playbook

Abstract

With the rapid development of the digital era and information technology, manual network management is becoming increasingly inefficient and time-consuming. Traditional network configuration, which requires administrators to physically access servers, increases the risk of human error that can disrupt services and raise operational costs. To address these challenges, Network Automation provides an effective solution for improving the efficiency and reliability of network infrastructure management, particularly for organizations with servers located in different locations. Ansible is a network automation tool that uses Playbooks to automate network configuration processes. Through protocols such as SSH, Ansible enables network engineers to remotely monitor and manage network infrastructure without requiring direct physical interaction with network devices. The structured use of Playbooks facilitates documentation, maintenance, and the consistent and rapid execution of administrative tasks. This study focuses on implementing Network Automation using Ansible Playbooks to improve time and resource efficiency in network management. Through this approach, network monitoring and configuration processes become more practical, secure, and reliable in supporting organizational operational needs in the current digital era.
