Automation can save time. Standardized automation can change how IT operates. Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) gives organizations a centralized framework for automating infrastructure, cloud, security, networking and application workflows at scale. That means fewer repetitive tasks, greater consistency and a more governed approach to automation across the enterprise.
Why AAP?
Simplify infrastructure management: Use agentless automation across Linux, Windows, network devices, cloud platforms and containers, helping teams manage large environments through a single automation framework.
Standardize IT operations: Turn manual processes into repeatable, documented and reusable automation playbooks that can help reduce configuration drift, human error and reliance on tribal knowledge.
Accelerate service delivery: Automate workflows across on-premises and cloud environments to streamline provisioning, application delivery and cloud adoption.
Make better use of IT resources: Reduce time spent on repetitive administration so skilled teams can focus more of their attention on higher-value initiatives.
Strengthen security and compliance: Automate security controls, patching, policy enforcement, remediation and compliance reporting to support more consistent security practices.
Enable self-service IT: Connect automation with service management platforms and portals to fulfill common requests faster, from provisioning virtual machines to creating development environments.
Automate across hybrid cloud: Apply a consistent automation strategy across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, VMware and on-premises environments, helping reduce tool sprawl and simplify governance.
Improve operational reliability: Reduce manual changes that can introduce errors while supporting faster recovery and more consistent infrastructure operations.
Scale automation across the enterprise: Move beyond isolated scripts with governance, role-based access, workflows, approvals, analytics and automation execution environments designed for enterprise-wide adoption.
Turn automation into measurable value: Apply automation to provisioning, configuration, patching, application deployment, compliance and remediation to improve execution, reduce errors and lower operational costs.
Start with the customer challenge
| When customers need to... | Lead with... |
| Reduce manual IT work | Repeatable automation across everyday operations |
| Improve consistency | Standardized playbooks and processes |
