Who uses Ansible Automation Platform?

Automation teams need to quickly provide reliable automation when and where the business needs it. In many organizations, automation is not managed by a single person or team—some operations team members may serve in multiple roles.

Automation architects elevate automation across teams to align with IT processes and streamline adoption. IT managers and architects can more easily expand automation across the enterprise, while managing automation policy and governance with automation services catalog. They also benefit from real-time reporting across the entire stack with automation analytics and Red Hat Insights for Ansible Automation Platform.

Automation developers create Ansible playbooks, roles, and modules. Developers retain the freedom to build, without the operational overhead of maintaining many tools and frameworks. Automation execution environments deliver a consistent container-like experience for building and scaling automation, with new tooling included to help build and manage the container images. There are more than 140 Red Hat Ansible Certified Content Collections across 60+ partners. These collections offer prebuilt, fully supported, certified automation content, with solutions available for nearly every use case.

Automation admins and operations teams ensure the automation platform and framework are operational. They have powerful tools in automation controller and Ansible automation hub to manage and share automation projects more efficiently, with a common language and a broadly accessible mix of command line interfaces (CLIs), graphical user interfaces (GUIs), and text-based user interfaces (TUI) across endpoints.
