Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform

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.
  • RHEL Patching
  • Post patching/Configure of RHEL servers
  • Configuration of applications on RHEL servers
  • Automating Infrastructure management with Configuration as Code approach
  • Good integration with RH Satellite
  • Dynamic scheduling of Job templates (i.e: Scheduling based on a schedule which is already created)
  • Ansible saves lot of time. It takes time to create playbooks, but after the playbook is done, life is easier.

It is best to manage RHEL or WIndows servers for System Administrators.
It is also good for Network admins, as they can know the sate of their machine in an instant and deploy configurations to them.
Ansible works best on organization where they promote collaboration.
It might not be too good where teams are seperated, because the organization might not get full benifit only one team is using AAP, rather than the whole team.
