Ansible

It's an automation language, engine and orchestration tool developed by Red hat written in Python using YAML format for writing instructional scripts, affectionately known as "Ansible playbook".

It has an automation engine that runs Ansible playbooks. Cloud provider is present in the ecosystem (AWS, Azure, Google, DigitalOcean, OVH, etc…).

Pros

• It is an agent-less tools In most scenarios, it use ssh as a transport layer. In some way you can use it as 'bash on steroids'
• It is very easy to start. If you are familiar with ssh concept - you already know Ansible (ALMOST).

Interesting Discussion as well as Guidance

Preparation of ICPC

Some pointers from my side:

ACM ICPC

Concentrate on your Regional: It helps having a fixed goal to focus on. This means acquainting yourself with past years' problems etc. And hopefully, there's a steady or gradual trend in problem style, and its not the case that one year you have amazing problems, the next you have weak test data etc.

General Questions:
What function does DNS play on a network?

DNS, or Domain Name System, associates domain names to entities in the system. The widest used example is translating domain names to IP addresses, in order to locate devices. For example, when asked what www.exmaple.org is, DNS will respond with 93.184.216.119, the IP of that domain.

What is HTTP?

HTTP, or Hypertext Transfer Protocol, is "an application protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems (Wikipedia)", and is the foundation of the World Wide Web (distinct from the Internet as a whole). In the context of System Administration, HTTP is related to the applications or services that handle that protocol, most notably web servers like Apache or Nginx (among others).
