Ansible

We’ve begun leveraging AAP for various workflows that would normally take multiple hours away from our dev's workload, streamlined it to a matter of minutes, and reduced human error significantly. One example would be leveraging the provisioning of application environments directly leveraging Terraform and Ansible. We kick off our terraform files within Ansible, gather the pertinent information for the new environment, and then follow up with additional tasks to configure the environment to expedite the delivery of the environment to the product owner. What would normally take a couple of days between provisioning the servers, patching/adjusting security, and deploying required software done by other teams has been consolidated into a workflow that will complete all the steps of multiple teams in a single workflow. Another use case we have leveraged is the start-to-finish deployment of custom virtual machine images. All with Ansible, we clone a baseline template, update configurations, customize to customer specifications (hostnames, IP addresses, etc.), deploy our proprietary software stack, confirm everything is functioning as intended, shut down the host, and then export the image and upload directly to object storage. From there, it will generate a user/password combination to allow the customer to download the image and notify the project manager to distribute the information to the customer to download the image. Once deployed, a provision callback occurs to finalize the remainder of the deployment, which needs to be done on-site. The entire process would typically take days of coordination between us and the customer, but it has now been reduced to less than a day, depending on how long it takes to deploy.

We use it for bootstrapping servers and configuration management. We also use it for upgrades of software.

Openshift post creation configuration and remediation

I use Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform to remediate security vulnerabilitys and deploys on app servers, these activities help us to reduce costs and time.

We use AAP to automate our server deployment process, configure network equipment, and install/remove applications and software updates. Our environment is quite large and complex, so automation helps keep it consistent and running smoothly.

Day-to-day Unix admin automation. Service restarts/patching.

manage patching for more than 300 servers

We use Ansible for automated workflows. This includes onboarding and off-boarding ESX hosts and Linux and Windows servers—bare metal and VMs. We also use Ansible for OS configuration, app deployment, SQL maintenance, addressing vulnerabilities, and patching.

Workstation configuration management allows us to keep developer workstations in a standard config for development. We have multiple team working on product that integrate with the other and keeping them in the same development environment produces consistent deployment success.

We use Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform for almost every aspect of Red Hat Enterprise Linux OS system administration. This product addresses compliance drift, package and repository management, and custom application deployment. The platform manages almost every OS configuration file, ensuring consistency across all systems in a timely and efficient manner.

Configuration management for a few hundred servers. Automated deployments of our application is done through Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform.

Right now, we only do basic stuff with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. We are planning in the coming weeks to use it to update/upgrade our 200+ RHEL servers.
Got a lab today that was very useful, and I will put in place.
We have been trying to use APP/Tower for the past 4 years. The only issue is time, time to write/get playbooks.

We use Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform for CI/CD deployment with GitLab CI using Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform API endpoints for job workflows. We also use Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform for patching and other ansible workflows.

We use Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform to automate nearly all aspects of our Linux administration workflows. We use it to run our "post provisioning" playbooks that setups new servers/VMs and configures them to our authentication source, package repositories (satellite) sets up security policies etc. We also are beginning to use it to automatically patch some servers on a pre-defined schedule. We also schedule other tasks such as updating certain accounts with their latest password(s). We also use it to deploy some applications and scripts through automated processes utilizing our CICD pipelines inside of GitLab.

We use Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform to automate infrastructure configuration. While our target uses are still growing and being identified, this helps us reduce human error when deploying infrastructure to our internal customers.

Currently used to provision new machines, install patches and software, ensure compliance with security policies. We're moving forward with continuously adding more functions to the systems and expanding into network, storage, Windows, application installs, etc.
Addressing problems of consistency between systems, reduction of administrative overhead, and improvements in agility.

We currently use Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform in conjunction with Satellite to manage our RHEL instances. We are moving into migrating AIX automation to the use of Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform and we are adding Windows to the fold. Our initial thrust into those operating systems will be related to configuration management and patching. We anticipate using Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform for other functions tied to surveys. An example would be allowing the help desk for a particular customer to only change passwords for their users on their systems.

We push Ansible Automation Platform to several closed, disconnected areas to enforce standards and ease administration processes. We're in a discovery process where we're looking at all of the possibilities that we can explore to convert homegrown scripts into Ansible playbooks. Enforcing security and administration.

Currently we use Ansible to allow self-service for app teams to deploy JWS/Apache. This helps keep infrastructure costs down and we are looking to add more automation to free up more infrastructure resources.

We use Ansible for all of our Cloud deployments, upgrades and configuration updates. We also use it for VM deployments and security updates.

we use Ansible Automation Platform to configure our workstations and linux VDIs. We also use Ansible Automation Platform to deploy virtual machines on various versions of VMware clusters.

We use Ansible Automation Platform to automate patching of our Linux based systems in a no downtime fashion and to standardize new server deployments.

Ansible has helped reduce time and most importantly configure servers in a constant manner. Idempotent nature of Ansible has helped us make sure that the servers deployed are exactly what we want them to be and nothing else.
We have scheduled automated patching on our RHEL servers.
We have automated server deployment where we provision both Windows and Linux servers.
We automate deploying of Windows IIS server and RHEL 7,8 and 9 Server with CIS hardening on them.

We use Ansible to configure and manages our network devices in our Edge Site space. We had issues managing the thousands of devices in the environment, with Ansible, we are able to touch our devices on a batch approach.

We have a Closed network and need Ansible to help us patch our networks
