Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform
Operating system server hardening on existing Vms. Azure and AWS cloud resource creation. Ansible playbooks for repeatable fixes. VM image creation and publishing and automation integration with other IT systems. We also use Ansible for data collection and ad-hoc executions across multiple network segments and environments. we use Ansible to deploy terraform jobs across azure and aws
- Github integration using projects to tie code versions to templates
- running the same automation code across one to many hosts
- being able to automate almost anything, running powershell, terraform, python inside of Ansible plays.
- Job template workflow decisions to do more than failed/success/all
- RBAC for users, teams and orgs sometimes has differences in access roles.
- better error handling/retries on connection problems, which typically force fail a play before code can execute
- API that can be called from dependent Applications
- Centralized auth and GitHub integration to help control code release
- job log and inventory histories to investigate previous job executions
- helps us to ensure compliance on multiple clouds and OS's
- help us to automate repeated tasks
- helps us to automate against non-standard VM's that were not "onboarded"
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
Red Hat automation platform was selected after using Ansible core for several years. we write playbooks for windows and RHEL systems and needed a supported solution vs using AWX.
