Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform
We use Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform for patch management.

- Connectivity with other platforms
- VM provisioning
- Sometimes when SSH is not possible, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform will not run. It would be nice if there were other connection methods.
- Playbook writing.
- Not optimized out-of-the-box. Would be nice if the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform installer detected and customized the installation for the system the playbook is hosted on.
- Managing Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform playbooks in a central golden repository
- Operator based, installed on OpenShift
- High availablity
- Much less time taken during patch management.
- If there are any issues, the playbook fails and we have to restart from the beginning.
It's the only one.
