Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform

Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform helped me configure virtual machines in research lab environments for my bachelor thesis.
This allowed a predefined configuration of Ubuntu hosts while resetting those after every lab assessment.
  • Easy to learn
  • Enables GitOps
  • More productivity due to time saved by automation
  • Inventory definition not intuitive
  • Low entry barrier
  • Very good free/community version
  • Easy to debug
  • Less time wasted for manual work
  • Not much training required to get started
Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is much easier to setup than Puppet, because it is agentless.
The Ansible community seems to be more active than Puppet's in the recent years.
Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform does not require learning a programming language where Puppet users should have basic Ruby knowledge.
