Soon you will learn that the sky is not even the limit re Ansible Use Cases.

Here is an excerpt of:

THE TOTAL ECONOMIC IMPACT OF RED HAT ANSIBLE

Justin Nemmers - GM of Ansible, Red Hat
Nicholas Chia - Product Manager, AOT

TYPICAL USE CASES 

Eliminate repetitive, manual processes

• Weekly system reboots at scale
• Enforce security guidelines and standards
• Monitor configuration drift and enforcing desired
settings
• Disaster recovery orchestration across multiple tiers
• Instance provisioning across multiple clouds

etc. 

And Ansible can be used transparently and agentlessly on:

Linux, Windows, Devices, IoTs, Anything, Everything

Cloud, VMs, Containers, Storage, Network, Anything, Everything

And Agent-LESSly :)

Hope this helps.
Cheers.

Ansible is the Language of Automation and anything that can be automated ansible can automate them. 

Before getting into use-cases i would highly recommend  starting out with the Intro to Ansible https://www.ansible.com/resources/webinars-training/introduction-to-ansible

The looking at ansible to automate simple tasks i.e get hostinfo from multiple systems or grab some data. 

Ansible can help you patch a system, deploy an app , standardize your system just to name a few . Others in the forums have pointed to various pointers on what use cases ansible is used for as well but i would recommend you look at ansible and its capabilities to determine how it fits what you are trying to achieve and you will find ansible being a good fit.
