Ansible is an automation language and tool that can be used for configuration management and infrastructure provisioning. It enables deployment and maintenance of state for large scale infrastructure. Ansible excels as managing legacy infrastructure like physical servers and VMs. Although Ansible provides container support with Docker integration, Ansible does not implement Kubernetes natively and instead relies on a module to support Kubernetes.
GitLab is a complete DevOps platform, delivered as a single application that includes not only configuration management, but also capabilities for project management, source code management, CI/CD, and monitoring. GitLab is designed for Kubernetes and cloud native applications.
GitLab can be used together with Ansible to enable VM and bare metal configuration management. For Cloud Native applications run on Kubernetes, Ansible is not required and GitLab can provide all the functionality natively.

Configuration Modeling
CM modeling is the concept to consolidate the interactions between IT service assets, configuration items and infrastructure. Shows the interaction and relationship of services, infrastructure, and assets with each other, it will ease to find the root cause of an incident and problem. |

Configuration Automation
Configure Management automation is used to make the server reach a desirable state, previously defined by provisioning scripts using a tool’s specific language and features ensuring that every system you’re responsible for is configured accurately and consistently. |
|
|
|
Configure Monitoring
CM monitoring includes the process of recording and reporting configuration item descriptions (e.g., hardware, software, firmware, etc.) and all departures from the baseline during design and production. In the event of discovered problems, the verification of baseline configuration and approved modifications can be quickly determined. |
|
|
|
Configure Governance
CM governance is a review that assesses compliance with established performance requirements, commercial and appropriate government standards, and functional, allocated, and product baselines. Configuration governance confirm that the system and subsystem configuration documentation complies with the functional and physical performance characteristics before acceptance into an architectural baseline. |
