    Predictable Deployments and Improved RBAC with Ansible

    5.0
    May 13, 2026
    We brought the Ansible Automation Platform into our environment about two years ago, mainly because our infra team was drowning in repetitive config work across roughly 150 servers and a mix of network gear. It wasn't a magic switch, the first 3-4 months we spent mostly cleaning up inventories and rewriting the early playbooks our admins put together. But once we got past that hump, the plarform has genuinely held up its end. Deployments are predictable now, audit trails are clean, and my ops team finally gets weekends back. Red Hat's support has been responsive to the tickets we've raised. The only thing that keeps coming up internally is cost, which I jave to defend at every renewal.

Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform Likes & Dislikes

Like

Playbooks are readable. Even our newer admins pick up YAML quickly, and can skim a play during a review without needing someone to walk them through it. The module ecosystem is huge - Cisco, AWS, VMWare, F5, and even some of the modules are out of the box. Automation controller gives us proper RBAC, Scheduling and visibility. We were able to retire a pile of cron jobs scattered across servers that nobody really owned.

Dislike

Excessively complex. Cost not easily justifiable compared to the open-source version. Complex troubleshooting, can be time-consuming.
