Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform

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.
  • Targeting several machines at once
  • Idempotency
  • self-documenting code
  • Inventory management is a bit of a pain in Automation Platform
  • The entire interface is a bit overkill just to run a playbook
  • It would be nice to have a single-server solution that includes a basic SCM.
  • Saved hundred of hours in manual labor
  • More quickly respond to automation requests
  • Fast Dev/update cycles
We've primarily used native scripting in the past, which is difficult to test and keep up to date with ever-changing, disconnected environments.
