Just a fact correction.

I think you are mistyping.  Ansible is in the repo of Debian:

$ apt show ansible
Package: ansible

Recommends: python-kerberos, python-selinux, python-winrm (>= 0.1.1), python-xmltodict

Description: Configuration management, deployment, and task execution system
 Ansible is a radically simple model-driven configuration management,
 multi-node deployment, and remote task execution system. Ansible works
 over SSH and does not require any software or daemons to be installed
 on remote nodes. Extension modules can be written in any language and
 are transferred to managed machines automatically.

Correct spelling ;-)

I think use of ansible or any similar tool is not prerequisite of
"development".  It's a configuration management system.   It's a nice and
interesting tool I am thinking to learn but I don't use it yet.

You need C, Shell, Perl, Python, git, ... skills first for development.
