Yeah, to us it's not just a configuration focus.

One of the focuses in creating Ansible was to have an easy-to-use system where it was just as easy to push apps, so you don't have to strap things like Fabric and Capistrano on top.

Another major example is how easy it is to do zero-downtime rolling upgrades on top, from the core language, without having to provide any glue on top to get there -- so it can easily say "target 50 out of my 500 servers at once", and work with load balancing and outage windows to walk across your infrastructure and upgrade production applications.
