Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform

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.

Pros

  • Standardization
  • Easy to get up to speed
  • Readable code

Cons

  • YAML is particular with spacing
  • Could use simpler scopes
  • Simple automation
  • Scheduling recurring tasks
  • Consistent environments to run our playbooks
  • Shared playbooks across the team to allow reusable code
  • A huge return on investment
  • Makes it easier for system administrators to get up to speed
  • Consistent, reusable code
It was much simpler to deploy and use Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform in our enterprise environment. Red Hat has great training to get our users up to speed. YAML is easy to write (although watch out for spacing) and run playbooks. We can easily generate infrastructure as code. Anisble used a push model instead of a pull model like Puppet.
