What’s new in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform

The self-service automation portal—now available for deployments of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and 10—introduces a visual execution environment builder that eliminates manual configuration and enforces consistency. A new centralized content catalog now enables administrators to aggregate trusted content, so developers can quickly find what they need.

Ansible Automation Platform is now an OIDC provider for HashiCorp Vault (Technology Preview), offering modernized identity management to support automation in zero trust environments. Automation jobs authenticate with short-lived, job-specific tokens instead of static service accounts, eliminating credential sprawl and minimizing attack surfaces. 

MCP server for Ansible Automation Platform (now in Technology Preview), helps you bring an agentic, AI-driven approach to your operations. You can manage jobs, troubleshoot issues, and even launch workflows using natural language prompts. It's a faster, more intuitive way to automate at scale.

The intelligent assistant now supports bring-your-own-knowledge capabilities, and the automation dashboard is now viewable directly within the platform UI. Developers will benefit from the release of Ansible-ready development workspaces, an MCP server-enabled VS Code extension, and a framework for integrating MCP servers from AWS, Azure, and GitHub.
