Provisioner

Under Tool, Provisioner groups products that configure or converge hosts and services after (or beside) foundation infra. Typical examples are agentless config managers and CM tools such as Ansible. Tag a product here when the note is about the tool you run to apply desired state on targets, not about the practice itself.

Sibling techniques: First Touch Provisioning (accounts, networks, clusters as code) and second touch provisioning (host and app configuration). Prefer golden images, Declarative IaC, and GitOps for day-two production where possible; keep provisioner tools for bootstrap, brownfield, and migration.
