Dear Jonathan,

Thanks for replying back. I’m exactly looking for Ansible application security standards. To be more in brief, like security guidelines for the application . So please provide a document or link of such defined standards which Ansible follows.

You have to be more specific. There’s different standards. What are you trying to do?

As I understand Ansible will not provide application security or compliance.

It is about automation. And for that it uses secured ssh connections to perform tasks.

Do you want to understand how it securely performs the tasks?
