Use case
Orchestration with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform
Overview
Orchestration is more than automating individual IT tasks—it’s the coordinated management of those tasks across systems, applications, and services. Without orchestration, teams must manually link processes like provisioning, networking, and security, which slows delivery, increases risk, and limits the value of automation.
Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform enables teams to automate and orchestrate a series of workflows across domains for more efficient, resilient, and consistent IT operations at scale. With prebuilt capabilities, you are able to organize automation tasks across all kinds of applications, platforms, and providers—all within a single, unified platform.
Features and benefits
Better than the basics
Ansible Automation Platform doesn’t just manage configurations or deploy applications—it’s a single, unified platform that enables your teams to implement strategic automation across your organization.
Top-level orchestration
Orchestration capabilities come built into every Ansible Automation Platform instance, which lets you package other tools, platforms, or cloud instances and organize or automate them.
Perfect for clouds
Ansible Automation Platform is used by Rackspace, CSC, HP, Cisco, and IBM to orchestrate OpenStack® rollouts. More than 185 Red Hat Ansible Certified Content Collections provide true interoperability and support for use cases across vendors and clouds.
Automation controller
Delegate complex orchestrations to whomever needs it with a user interface, RESTful application programming interface, role-based access control (RBAC), workflows, and continuous integration and continuous delivery integrations.
Single syntax
Admins don’t need to remember multiple syntaxes thanks to Ansible Automation Platform’s library of modules. Use the native YAML syntax to orchestrate different conductors in different environments—ensuring tasks run in the right order with proper caveats.
Security orchestration
Enforce compliance and improve security-focused operations with Ansible Automation Platform. It automates the workflows that matter—like identity management, security monitoring, and firewalls—so teams can collaborate faster.
