Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform
Pushing system patches and verifying he current status of various DevOps tools running within Podman containers. We also use Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform to push out configuration files and harden systems to meet various governing bodies requirements for air-gapped systems. Until recently we had also managed our Windows systems using Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform.
Pros
- Deploying network wide changes to all our systems.
- Monitoring systems for changes and verifying services are up and running.
- Managing user accounts where domain accounts are not allowed.
Cons
- Secrets are rather annoying to implement. Additionally using a set password and managing them across distributed systems can be difficult.
- Modules for pulling system statuses such as disk usage are not easy to pull only the data you want.
- Perhaps I could not find the correct modules, but using the existing modules to manage running containers is not intuitive.
- Decreased time of deployment from 4 or 5 hours to a hour or 2.
- Patching can easily before performed during the week with reboots taking approximately a hour that weekend to allow kernel updates.
- With the reduction in patching and deployment the SA have more time to address other issues.
- Using Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform to deploy software has eased the time need so we can set our focus other places or have time to learn new things.
