What differentiates Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform from other similar products?

Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform serves as the cornerstone for developing and managing automation services at scale and offers our business a flexible, dependable execution environment. Now we do not need to create a playbook for each and every repository because we may make use of the same playbook for numerous components using this superior technology.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I really appreciate that Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is a player at automating tedious tasks and handling platform-specific problems. I can quickly create automatic build scripts for the Red Hat Ansible Automation system that takes care of a range of tasks for me since it is more. capable and intelligent enough to do so. If I plan ahead and properly construct its script, it easily fulfills the responsibilities I assign it.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It will take some time for a new Red Hat Ansible user to become completely familiar with this software. It is a bit tricky to use if you are using it on a Windows workstation. Passing run-time arguments in Red Hat Ansible is quite challenging. Having too many modules might occasionally be confusing, but having excellent documentation may fix this problem.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The fact that Red Hat Ansible is so simple to use is what always forced me to only recommend this platform to my partners who are considering implementing a data center automation platform. Once you use it, you won't need to worry about data center security and can just write scripts to automate all of your chores rather than doing them on your own.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Trustworthy

What differentiates Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform from other similar products?

Previously, I used putty for remote connections, then I used "scp" or "ftp" to send the scripts, which I then manually executed. However, ansible made it simple by allowing us to build a yml file, describe all of the tasks in the yml file, and verify as much remote machine characteristics as possible in the host file. When compared to power shell, it is more easier to operate. It is possible to install the same item on several computers.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

With Red Hat Ansible Automation, we can do several tasks on multiple machines at the same time, and prepping machines for testing has never been easier. No more work is necessary. It only takes a few lines of code to get it to function. Ansible can deliver commands to 500 servers at once using SSH. You may also share your code with other teams at any moment, including during deployments.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I'm happy with the tool so far, but for Windows it has to work to add additional features. Mainly this, with the other functions I am satisfied.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It turned out to be a very useful tool as they were able to drop a number of products and start using Ansible for just about everything, including cloud and on-premises infrastructure. The benefits of using Ansible automation is that once we see how simple it is to manage and configure, it becomes incredibly simple for our subsequent deployments. It is less complicated than other automation tools on the market.

Pros

  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Unique Features
  • Efficient Service
