AAP Helped Us Become a Culture of Automation
I use AAP for the creation of Windows gold images, Windows and RHEL server builds, and interfacing with vendor APIs.

Ansible is Awesome!
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.

Just okay
Orchestration is all we need, we have the automation done.

Why you should use Ansible.
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.

Hustle
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.

We are still beginning our automation journey, automating repetitive tasks to save time. We are getting to automate more complex tasks and are looking to add event-driven automation soon.

Nice survey!
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.

Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform Review
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.

Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform Review
We use Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform to allow for ease of access to playbooks written and maintained by the engineers on our team. This allows for other teams to make easy use of the work done by them in creating and maintaining playbooks. We also use it as a means to schedule jobs to run, such as patching, for windows of time where it isn't reasonable for people to be in office.

Great for automating your automation
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.
May 08, 2024
All the best
Use to configure and validate. Soon will be introducing either awx or ansible controller.
We use Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform for updating servers, both RHEL & Windows across multiple cloud platforms. We use Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform for VM post provisioning to accomplish compliance, AD join, etc. Along the same lines we also use Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform for some Day 2 operations.

Stands out among the others
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.

2024 Red Hat Summit Review
We use Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform for workflow automation. The scope of use cases vary from 5 to 100.
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.

Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform Review
Currently used for patching of various operating systems, including RHEL, Oracle Linux, and Ubuntu. Automated patching was the prime objective of implementing automation. We also use it for Netapp automated reporting, which is then used to make storage decisions.
