1. The biggest strength for me are the simplicity of YAML based playbooks which are easy to read, write and maintain even for complex workflows. 2. Automation Controller (Tower/AAP UI) makes scheduling, role based access and job monitoring much easier at scale. 3. CI/CD and cloud integrations really helped me to automate deployments and environment provisioning across different platforms.
What I really like about about it is that it makes frontend development easier. It helped me to do my job better by taking care of repetitive tasks and technical stuff behind the scenes. So that I can focus on creating great frontend experiences with getting stuck.
The Configuration part of the product is very useful since every customer now wants to have earlier patching which used to be very hectic by using many different tools for Patching, Software Distribution and OS Hardening.
1. I felt that the initial setup and learning curve can be steep, especially when moving from basic Ansible to the full automation platform. 2. Debugging failed playbooks isn't always straightforward and error messages can be unclear at times. 3. Licensing and pricing feel expensive for smaller teams compared to using open-source Ansible alone.
It could me more user friendly, provide simpler tools for developing and managing automation tasks, be easier to understand and work better with windows. For Frontend developers like me, Ansible will be easier to use and more useful if this changes were made.
The architecture is very complicated it should be easier explaining the flow of Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform was a very hectic task since many of the customers were using this tool for the first time. Secondly since this application is agentless with ssh 22 port being used there are many probabilities that there will be SSH session limits issues which we have already faced in many clients.
