Infrastructure Automation
The Case for an Automation Control Plane
As organizations scale automation across legacy systems, SaaS platforms, and cloud-native services, they quickly encounter fragmentation. Homegrown scripts known only to a few + different commercial automation tools, and point integrations creates IT automation sprawl. The result is: brittle workflows, limited visibility, inconsistent governance, and oddly… more sys admin cycles spent managing the sprawl…in which automation was supposed to reduce.
Our Automation Practice designs and implements an Automation Control Plane built on Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. We standardize automation for all the requirements that matter to a system administrator today:
Versioned, reusable, human readable (YAML) and supported content (via Ansible Automation Hub)
AI Code Assistance via Ansible Lightspeed, enabling all IT roles (software developers, DevOps, and sys admins) to write code
Role-based access control, credential isolation, approved execution paths
Support for Windows, Linux/Unix, Virtual, Network, Storage IoT, Cloud, Container, and Serverless environments
Scheduled, AdHoc, and Event Driven Ansible (EDA) execution
Idempotent, auditable, and immutable logging
What We Solve with Ansible
Our QuickStart engament is a no-nonsense implementation of Ansible and rapid onboarding of automation use cases that help accelerate Time to Value ("TTV").
These 3-6-week engagements get customers a "quick win" and provide the evidence to justify the ROI of Ansible to stakeholders. Our project team consisting of a project manager, architect, and automation consultant work directly with IT teams to establish an Automation Control Plane with HA/DR to solve one or many of the following IT challenges:
Day 1 Ops - Provisioning, Configuration, Hardening
Day 2 Ops - Patching, Provisioning, Expansion, Monitoring, Policy Scanning and Enforcement
Day 3 Ops - Disaster Recovery, Event Driven Automation, Policy-Controlled Remediation
Customer Onboarding: mentoring, training, documentation, and continuous enablement
The Case for Red Hat
Red Hat IS the original enterprise open source company we all know and trust. Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform delivers enterprise-grade automation with built-in consolidation, security, governance, and support that open-source alternatives lack. This allows organizations to treat automation as a managed, supported platform, and ditch the automation sprawl.
