Linux system administrators are productive when they create the shell programs that automate their tasks.The more automation we have in place, the more time we have available to fix real problems when they occur and to contemplate how to automate even more than we already have. Instead of typing the same group of commands on the command line, it is better to automate it by adding them in a script. Linux server automation is the process of automating the provisioning, patching, scheduling, security, compliance and other linux based tasks across virtual and physical servers. Most large enterprises employ linux system infrastructure. To efficiently manage them, IT administrators must monitor, update and secure the servers to ensure that they are operating at their best. Linux does not have a built-in backup tool which adds complexity to the backup process. As a result linux administrators need to customize their linux infrastructure initially to fit their environment.Though Linux automation is achieved by using bash shell script in most of the cases we attempt to enhance the process of automation by scheduling the CRON job with the help of an open source tool, ANSIBLE.The vision of our project is to automate the following tasks
