One of the challenges when you’re starting out with DevOps is getting the lay of the land. There are a lot of tools out there. And when one of the goals of DevOps is continually improving your processes, it’s important for you to understand how those tools might fit in your infrastructure. At the same time, you want to be efficient. You don’t want to add tools that overlap with one another. Or tools that cost more than other effective alternatives. The more you read, the more questions you have. Should you use Docker? What about Chef? How do you stack up Ansible vs Jenkins or Capistrano?

In this post, we’re going to break down the differences between two DevOps technologies, and how they can work for your team. We’ll talk about Ansible and Jenkins, and what makes each of them tick. Then we’ll examine the right use case for each, and even how they might work together.
