Infrastructure Platforms
Bare metal
Underneath virtualization and cloud platforms is always the physical server. When it's your own cloud or hypervisor system, you still need to provision bare metal some of the time. Ansible Automation Platform integrates with many datacenter management tools to both invoke and enact the provisioning steps required.
Virtualized
From hypervisors, to virtual storage and virtual networks, the transition from physical devices as the base platform has opened up increasingly diverse scenarios at previously unavailable scale. Reduce complexity with Ansible Automation Platform to simplify the experience of cross platform management. The large selection of available modules gives you flexibility and choice to manage your diverse environment.
Networks
Ansible’s network automation capabilities allow users to configure, validate, and ensure continuous compliance for physical network devices. Ansible Automation Platform is the only language that can easily provision across multi-vendor environments, often replacing the need for manual processes that exist across network environments.
Storage
Ansible Automation Platform can provision and manage storage in your infrastructure. Whether it's software-defined storage, cloud-based storage, or even hardware storage appliances, you can find a module to leverage Ansible’s common, powerful language.
Cloud
Public
Ansible Automation Platform is packaged with hundreds of modules supporting services on the largest public cloud platforms. Compute, storage, and networking modules allow playbooks to directly provision these services. Ansible can even act as an orchestrator of other popular provisioning tools–giving you high level, self documented workflows.
Private
One of the easiest ways to deploy, configure and orchestrate OpenStack private cloud is by using Ansible Automation Platform. It can be used to provision the underlying infrastructure, install services, add compute hosts, and more. Once the underlying environment is provisioned, Ansible can also be used to provision resources, services, and applications inside your cloud.
