Ansible is a great tool for automating repetitive tasks in the installation, configuration, and management of enterprise IT systems and software.
As for the claim in the article, it is silly. It is entirely possible to use Ansible to run commands to do good and bad things things to the system(s) that ran the command; however, if a person in charge of managing a large enterprise, who was also savvy on Ansible, were to do such a thing it would not be an accident. Yes I know it is a hoax, I'm talking about the silliness of someone having even thought it was a good idea to claim they did such a thing. At face value, such a claim is either: 1) an outright falsehood, or 2) made by a complete moron. (or both in this case)
But Ansible? It's a great tool.
