Connect your clouds using a strategic automation platform

Every hybrid cloud incorporates some degree of workload portability, orchestration, and management across diverse environments. Whether your hybrid cloud takes an infrastructure-first approach—like a public cloud attached to your private cloud; multiple public clouds; or some combination of bare-metal, virtual, and cloud environments—or is a hosted cloud-native application, Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform can manage, coordinate, and operationalize them under a single set of processes and policies.
