We've added the presentation used by John Walter, Solution Architect for Red Hat's Training and Certification team, from our Accelerating with Ansible webinar. He discussed the emergence of radically simple Ansible automation and answered questions from attendees. Learn how Ansible automates cloud provisioning, configuration management, application deployment, intra-service orchestration, and many other IT needs. Also learn how Ansible is designed for multi-tier deployments from day one and how Ansible models your IT infrastructure by describing how all your systems inter-relate, rather than just managing one system at a time.

- 8. USE CASES FOR AUTOMATION WITH ANSIBLE8 WHAT DOES ANSIBLE TOWER PROVIDE? ● Ansible Tower is an enterprise framework for controlling, securing and managing your Ansible automation – with a UI and RESTful API. ● Role-based access control ● Deploy entire applications with push-button deployment access ● All automations are centrally logged ● Schedule jobs for repeat deployments ● Provide teams with remote command execution
- 9. USE CASES FOR AUTOMATION WITH ANSIBLE9 ANSIBLE NETWORK AUTOMATION ● Use Ansible to manage, validate, and continuously track heterogeneous network device configurations and deployments. ● Network modules are included as part of the Ansible distribution. ● Modules for over 40 networking platforms. ● 570+ Networking modules ANSIBLE WINDOWS AUTOMATION ● Manage Windows systems with Ansible ● 70+ Windows Modules
- 11. USE CASES FOR AUTOMATION WITH ANSIBLE11 PROVISIONING ● Ansible can provision your cloud platforms, virtualized hosts and hypervisors, network devices, and baremetal servers. ● Spin up an entire stack in a few minutes, test it, then delete it. ● Allows for deploying into test, dev, and prod environments in minutes. CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT ● Replace scripts and ad-hoc commands with a consistent, reliable, and secure management solution. ● Human-readable, so everyone in an organization will be able to understand ● No agent to run on systems, so users only need an SSH password to start utilizing ● Thousands of modules, roles, and templates
