Automation orchestrator

Extend Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform with a composable canvas for designing, deploying, and governing complex IT operation workflows. 

Trusted execution starts with connected operations

The automation orchestrator transforms how your teams design and manage IT operations workflows. Offered as an add-on to your existing Ansible Automation Platform subscription, it extends your proven governance model as you expand automation to new levels of scale and complexity.

A new, intuitive canvas lets you build enterprise-scale workflows that incorporate multiple trigger types, logic nodes, and AI recommendations—all operating within a single security boundary with a consistent audit trail.

With this additional flexibility and control, the automation orchestrator helps you efficiently build more complex and capable workflows, on the automation foundation your team knows and trusts.

Features and benefits

Composable automation, simplified

Every job template, role, and collection your team has certified becomes a reusable workflow node. Combine proven, scalable automation with new logic to build workflows quickly without rebuilding from scratch.

Governance that scales automatically

Enforce RBAC, approval gates, and audit trails across every task, event, and AI-driven node. Because it runs inside of Ansible Automation Platform, your existing governance model applies everywhere without manual reconfiguration.

A visual canvas, with a code path too

Design and deploy using an intuitive drag-and-drop canvas or work directly in YAML. Use logic nodes—including Switch, Conditional, and Loop—to define real-world workflow behavior, not just ideal scenarios.

Orchestration for your entire automation portfolio

Manage your entire automation portfolio from a single control plane. Seamlessly integrate Ansible Playbooks, Terraform modules, REST APIs, Python scripts, and other essential tools into your complex automation workflows.

Match pattern to problem with multimode automation

As IT operations grow more complex, so do the demands on automation. Automation orchestrator is built around a multimode automation framework—combining task-driven, event-driven, and AI-driven automation in a single governed workflow, matched to the shape and scope of the problem.

Task-based automation

Executes predefined, version-controlled steps with total consistency that’s perfect for repeatable tasks—like patching servers and provisioning accounts.

Event-driven automation

Triggers auto-remediation at speed when specific conditions occur—such as service failures or threshold breaches—eliminating the lag between observability and action.

AI-driven automation

Analyzes complex, novel incidents that lack a fixed playbook—like sudden cloud cost spikes—to identify an optimal path forward, all within established governance boundaries.

When these modes run together on one canvas with shared context and a single governance model, your automation practice compounds instead of sprawling.
