Ansible

Config mgmt. supporting the other areas of IT with playbooks. We provide the back end inf along with creating the job templates.

We use Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform to automate a number of applications and workflows. We use it to automate or DUO account registration and account creation, disaster recovery, server builds for linux and windows, and many other workflows.

Automation of everything else. We don't do drift control, we don't do patching, but when it comes to the automation of redundant tasks, we do that.

Ansible is our infrastructure automation platform. We deploy and automation server builds, hardening, auditing, and anything else we can.

Post configuration of IaaS like Weblogic, apache, Jboss, and Compliance.

Used for workflow automation and configuration management of infrastructure.

Automates routine tasks.

Wde use it at large scale already. But grow with it outside of IT Infra unit is a challenge

We are using it for deploying virtual machines, deploy software on top, and configure software through APIs. Other we use it with monitoring integration for event driven reconfigurations. AAP is used for helpdesk running provisioning tasks, configuration of servers at client premisses, configuration of network equipment... Also for deploying servers in lab for testing changes.

It's used by both software developers and system administrators. For software developers, it allows them to set up machines for the development environment easily without manually installing required programs and databases to run an environment needed for developing software. Administrators use it to set up machines for customer environments (testing, QA, production) quickly when they are needed.

We majorly use Ansible to automate our configurational requirements across the organization to set up and maintain different tools like Kubernetes, Bamboo, Bitbucket, Jenkins, Tomcat, and many others.
Ansible helps us out ensures the setup we have done should remain exactly the same every time we bring the tool up. Also, we manage a couple of our application deployments for technologies like Python & Nodejs using Ansible

We use Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform across our entire department and through the whole organization. We use Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform to automate our configuration and process management. We use it in almost every system administration task we have.

Ansible is used across the entire organization for configuration management. It configures operating systems as well as releases and configures software. We manage our ansible repo in a CI pipeline with jenkins.

We’re using Ansible for deployments and compliance within the Systems group, primarily on the Linux platform.

Initially we started leveraging Ansible for those annoying daily/weekly tasks. Ansible brought a level of comfort and repeatability to those tasks. Then we started leveraging Ansible for Greenfield Switch deployments, then we moved to assisting w/ repeatable firewall rule changes then onto F5 LB/ADC changes; simplifying those tasks too. Then we started to share our success with our management team and they use to form an Ansible Center of Excellence (CoE) then our role shifted to PR within our Enterprise. We started showing other business units how to leverage Ansible, we worked with the Storage Group for repeatable tasks. When we started this effort the storage industry had not adopted Ansible like the Network world had; that has since changed. We also worked w/ the VMware team to help provision new server instances via a more repeatable process. The Linux server team is currently reviewing while the Windows team is still focused on their Microsoft tool base. We are starting to collect data on time saved weekly/monthly thus allowing us to focus on new business requirements. Plenty of more Ansible projects to tackle including IT Security and many others.

Ansible is being used by our university IT engineering group that is responsible for managing and maintaining 700+ servers of different sizes and roles in hosting applications. We have a diverse datacenter environment with a variety of workloads and Ansible helps us to manage, primarily, our Linux servers, doing maintenance and orchestration tasks such as provisioning servers with particular configurations and run operational tasks on large subsets of servers.

We use it to deploy VM's, OS Hardening, Patching, etc. Ansible AWX is implemented for GUI which can be used by end-users.

Ansible is being used by a certain department for testing purposes. We tried it for a while and had an evaluation on it. It is a very nice tool for managing the servers we have on cloud. It is easy to use and powerful to manage all the servers we have. We are very happy with the result.

We are using Ansible to configure our servers and to deploy our software to those servers. Our developers use it to deploy updates to staging and production environments, which enables them to work more in a DevOps role.

Ansible is a tool used by our head DevOps engineer and others who elect to do so. It is mainly used for automating server setup/tear down and ensuring concurrency exists across all our application platforms. It's an incredible tool for setting up any environment without having to install the program on the server you wish to target.

We use Ansible every day in our CI/CD pipeline. With everything in AWS, and constantly setting up new instances, other agent-based products were out of the question. And since Ansible has added so much AWS management to it's latest versions, we can manage infrastructure just as easily as we deploy our application. There is no way we could keep up with the developers without Ansible.

Ansible is currently being used by our integration and infrastructure team. It is used across the whole project. Ansible is being used as a rapid deployment solution. It is being utilized as a tool to speed up the deployment of our system and make the deployment as turn key as possible.

Ansible helps us with configuration management, application deployment, task automation. It also does IT orchestration, where we have to run tasks in sequence and create a chain of events which must happen on several different servers or devices. In short, we use Ansible to handle complex tasks with a tool which is easy to use.

Ansible was used mainly for provisioning our internal virtual environments and containers. It was used only in the IT department of course. Different environments were provisioned with our custom Ansible roles. We have been also experimenting with Ansible for Docker. It is a good alternative to the Dockerfile for creating containers.

Ansible allows us to manage our systems with over SSH with an easy to read YAML format. It is easy to check playbooks into source control to share with others in the organization. Ansible playbooks are easy and quick to develop. The speed at which we can create new playbooks ensures that more of our systems will use configuration management.
