Ansible

Ansible is an open-source software provisioning, configuration management, and application-deployment tool. It runs on many Unix-like systems, and can configure both Unix-like systems as well as Microsoft Windows. It includes its own declarative language to describe system configuration

Configuration is maintained in YAML files which describe sequences of configuration actions, and which should be written to ensure idempotency.^[1]

There is an open-source collection of modules for many popular applications and systems software at Ansible Galaxy
