Publicly traded enterprise software company Red Hat [redhat.com] has acquired devops software startup Ansible [ansible.com] for more than $100 million, VentureBeat has learned [venturebeat.com].

Written mostly in Python, Ansible’s open-source software has gained popularity, but the startup also offers premium Tower software and consulting services. The software allows developers to more easily set up and manage IT infrastructure for applications at scale. For instance, Ansible can speed up the rollout of OpenStack Ceph storage software across companies’ data center infrastructure, according to a recent blog post from Red Hat.
