Red Hat expands Ansible ready to run cloud programs
Summary
These bundles of software modules, plugins, roles, and documentation make it much easier to deploy complex programs with the up-to-date security required for production-ready workloads. Collections are available for many popular networks, security, and cloud partners, including AWS, Arista, Cisco, IBM, Juniper, Splunk, VyOS platforms, and more. With these, you can easily automate manual tasks and processes with confidence since theyve been tested and backed by Red Hats support teams. Ansible then takes over to do such traditional DevOps tasks as deploying system updates, load balancers, and server resources. Mary Johnston Turner, IDCs research vice president of Cloud Management, thinks this is a good idea: "Interest in consistent cross-cloud management and visibility is rapidly increasing as enterprises move more workloads into hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructure platforms, including both VM and container-based environments," Turner said.
