Bring automation to the enterprise with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform

As organizations look for new ways to increase agility and move towards the digital frontier, automation has become a core strategic objective. However, implementation is often piecemeal, resulting in a bottom-up, problem-solving strategy. When different departments in an organization use disparate automation tools, the lack of a centralized strategy can lead to inhibited content sharing and governance—lengthening the time to reach the business goals that automation sets out to achieve.

Unsupported solutions such as AWX and community Ansible may be the right fit for smaller organizations. Community Ansible can be a powerful tool for single-user efforts, and AWX is effective for one team in a single location that needs an application performance interface (API) with limited functionality. However, these solutions lack enterprise-grade support and robust analytics. 

If your organization seeks to operationalize its automation efforts into an enterprise-wide strategy, a more comprehensive platform is required. For a fully featured, enterprise automation platform that does not require staff time to troubleshoot and support, many organizations choose a paid subscription for Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform.
