USE CASE:
Using Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform for Infrastructure Automation
Consistently deploy and manage infrastructure workloads with a fully-supported automation platform.
Infrastructure as Code is a start—but it’s not enough
To make infrastructure management more efficient and less error-prone, many organizations have adopted an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) approach, which involves managing and provisioning through code instead of manual processes. IaC makes it possible to automate time-consuming tasks, but scaling IaC across teams and environments requires a unified, flexible automation solution.
Spend less time managing and more time innovating
Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform ensures consistent configuration of infrastructure workloads, while also deploying and maintaining your systems, wherever they are—on-premise, in the cloud, or at the edge. With a user-friendly interface and set of tools, Ansible Automation Platform allows you to efficiently manage diverse enterprise use cases, saving resources and freeing your IT teams to focus on the future.
Ease complexity
Spend less time on error-prone, time-consuming tasks with easy-to-navigate features that get you automating faster.
Control costs
Consolidate on a single, flexible platform that assumes the work of many disparate solutions, so you can be more efficient and adapt to change faster.
Ensure consistency
Leverage automated, repeatable workflows and ensure uniform configuration management across your hybrid infrastructure.
Scale faster
Respond with agility while you juggle workloads in your datacenter, across multiple clouds, and at the edge, ensuring consistent configuration along the way.
Foster collaboration
Connect your DevOps and IaC teams by using a common platform that enables sharing of automation content and best practices.
Manage compliance
Automate security patching and apply consistent settings across systems—whether on-premise or in the cloud—to easily meet local regulations and limit downtime.
