Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform

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.
  • Provisioning of servers on hypervisiors
  • Configuration of software through API
  • Event driven remediation
  • Automation hub stuck when pulling images
  • Documentation on deploying isolated nodes
  • Automated deployment of infrastructure
We needed highly secure environment and the need of support was one of the top priorities. The API was needed to manualy run configured playbooks and feed them with variables. Virtual environments were not scalling well when there were additional nodes needed, like isolated nodes. Pacing them in Podman containers is great benefit.

Did Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform again?

Yes

It is well suited in enviroments where there is a lot interaction with API. Its not well suited for working with multiple users or playbooks where there are lot of variables included. It can see the benefits where there are dislocated environments with low bandwidth. Use of hop nodes are really beneficial in combination of isolated nodes.
