2025 was a year of transformative customer success with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform

2025 has been a year of innovation in automation for customers of Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. Here are just a few stories from customers that exemplify how Ansible Automation Platform has helped organizations turn automation into a foundation for long-term success.

Automation as the foundation for enterprise growth

In 2025, automation evolved from a tactical tool into the foundational architecture for organizations to scale, operate, and adapt. Customers adopted Ansible Automation Platform as a centralized automation control plane, integrating it with other platforms like Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat OpenShift to standardize operations, modernize infrastructure, and scale with confidence.

• Orange modernized its 5G core and telco cloud with OpenShift, Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, and Ansible Automation Platform, transforming previously manual and time-intensive operations into a 4x faster service deployment. This automation-driven foundation improves operational efficiency and supports expansion from 6 to 75 telco cloud points of presence (PoP) globally.
• KreditPlus automated provisioning, scaling, and security with Ansible Automation Platform across Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, resulting in a 70% reduction in licensing costs, faster self-service development, and improved security and compliance.
• The City of Denver demonstrated automation at a massive scale, leveraging Ansible Automation Platform, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Red Hat Satellite to automate 223 processes in the last 5 years. Supported by a Red Hat Technical Account Manager, this strategic initiative resulted in $4.06 million in savings and a significant acceleration in service delivery.
• The State of Missouri centralized automation with Ansible Automation Platform, reducing routine tasks from hours or days to minutes, automating patching and upgrades across 2,000+ systems, and cutting CMDB inventory collection from 90 minutes to 20 seconds, freeing teams to focus on higher value citizen services.

Automation as a catalyst for modernization across industries

Organizations across telecommunications, financial services, transportation, and the public sector used Ansible Automation Platform in 2025 to operationalize modernization and manage increasingly complex environments.

• One New Zealand unlocked the full potential of its 5G network by using automation to standardize network design, accelerate deployment, and reduce operational complexity. Deployments that once took days or weeks now complete up to 10x faster. It also cut software upgrade times from approximately 160 hours to approximately 4 hours, and lowered operational complexity while accelerating service delivery at scale.
• BankNXT modernized its digital banking platform with OpenShift, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Ansible Automation Platform, improving operational efficiency, accelerating service delivery, and enhancing customer experience, cutting deployment times by 40% and doubling the pace of updates and feature releases.
• Turkcell built a unified telco cloud and introduced zero-touch provisioning with Red Hat OpenStack, Red Hat OpenShift, Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes, and Ansible Automation Platform. Deployments that once took about a week now complete in just a few hours, enabling management of thousands of distributed sites, support for more than 15 terabits per second of traffic, and faster time to market for 5G workloads at scale.
• Hague Tramway Company improved reliability across tram and bus systems using Ansible Automation Platform with Red Hat Device Edge, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Red Hat OpenShift. Manual installations that once took approximately 30 minutes per device now complete in about 5 minutes, reducing human intervention and increasing consistency across critical edge environments.

Automation at scale with measurable enterprise impact

In 2025, managed service providers and global enterprises continued to demonstrate that centralized automation delivers measurable business outcomes at scale.

Ensono, a global managed services leader, used Ansible Automation Platform to automate more than 40 million tasks annually across 30,000 assets, saving over 210,000 hours a year. Centralizing automation improved consistency, increased service reliability, and allowed skilled talent to focus on higher value innovation rather than routine maintenance.

This momentum extended globally across Asia Pacific. The Red Hat APAC Innovation Awards 2025 celebrated customers applying open source technologies to drive real business impact. In Malaysia, AFFIN Group was recognized for excellence in open source led innovation. Highlighting how automation, open hybrid cloud, and open source principles continue to fuel transformation across industries and regions.

Industry leaders reinforced this scale and reliability as well. Google shared how it uses Ansible Automation Platform to orchestrate automation across complex, virtualized environments, underscoring the platform's ability to support enterprise scale operations.
