What is Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform?

Ansible Automation Platform provides an enterprise framework for building and operating IT automation at scale, from hybrid cloud to the edge. It enables users across an organization to create, share, and manage automation—from development and operations to security and network teams.

IT managers can provide guidelines on how automation is applied to individual teams, and automation creators can write tasks that use existing knowledge. Ansible Automation Platform provides a more secure and stable foundation for deploying end-to-end automation.

Standardize and scale automation

Standardize how automation is deployed, initiated, delegated, and audited. The automation controller allows users to define, operate, and scale automation across their enterprise. Manage inventory, launch and schedule workflows, track changes, and integrate into reporting, all from a centralized user interface and REST API. The automation controller now features the automation topology viewer, which can graphically visualize even the most complex automation topologies—including hop, execution, hybrid, and control nodes—across multiple sites.

Outcomes of using Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform

Architecture

Ansible Automation Platform lets you standardize automation because it works throughout your organization, connecting users across IT domains to streamline orchestration and provide governance for a variety of use cases.

Ansible Automation Platform allows flexibility with your resources by automating provisioning for cloud providers, storage solutions, and infrastructure components. It helps make network management more consistent and expedites security patching and remediation. Use Ansible Content Collections with pre-packaged roles and modules to provision machines, apply base system configurations, and deploy apps.

E-book: The automation architect's handbook

Development

Developers can set up automation to provision, deploy, and manage compute infrastructure across environments. Deploy multi-tier applications reliably and consistently, all from one common framework, and configure needed services and push application artifacts using Ansible Playbooks.

Move software between testing and production environments more quickly by automating processes. This leads to repeatable and reliable deployments across the software delivery cycle, enabling DevOps and managing your CI/CD pipeline.

Operations

Use Ansible Automation Platform to automate infrastructure provisioning and orchestration, update and patch systems, install software, and onboard users. Create and run reusable infrastructure as code (IaC) with Ansible Playbooks that can automate more extensive workflows, such as full application deployments to production. With Red Hat Insights, get real-time job status updates and monitor and resolve issues across your infrastructure. And use automation analytics to measure business impact and understand which automation jobs are running successfully and where.

Take automation further with security vulnerability remediation, policy and governance, and content management tools that make operations more efficient.
