Best option to deploy and maintain infrastructure.

We’ve begun leveraging AAP for various workflows that would normally take multiple hours away from our dev's workload, streamlined it to a matter of minutes, and reduced human error significantly. One example would be leveraging the provisioning of application environments directly leveraging Terraform and Ansible. We kick off our terraform files within Ansible, gather the pertinent information for the new environment, and then follow up with additional tasks to configure the environment to expedite the delivery of the environment to the product owner. What would normally take a couple of days between provisioning the servers, patching/adjusting security, and deploying required software done by other teams has been consolidated into a workflow that will complete all the steps of multiple teams in a single workflow. Another use case we have leveraged is the start-to-finish deployment of custom virtual machine images. All with Ansible, we clone a baseline template, update configurations, customize to customer specifications (hostnames, IP addresses, etc.), deploy our proprietary software stack, confirm everything is functioning as intended, shut down the host, and then export the image and upload directly to object storage. From there, it will generate a user/password combination to allow the customer to download the image and notify the project manager to distribute the information to the customer to download the image. Once deployed, a provision callback occurs to finalize the remainder of the deployment, which needs to be done on-site. The entire process would typically take days of coordination between us and the customer, but it has now been reduced to less than a day, depending on how long it takes to deploy.
