Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform Likes & Dislikes

Automation Controller was fascinating to me because it can help automate recurring configuration tasks in our structures. It eliminated such time-consuming chores as server procurement and software delivery, consequently allowing my team to focus on worthwhile activities.

I like the possibility to store Ansible Vaults so I need no other places to handle my vaults. I also like the CLI and the possibilities for access restriction.

Automation Controller is good at automating repetitive configuration tasks across our infrastructure. It has also become a breeze to roll out updates, and setups are always roll able and manageable on a consistent basis.

The Automation Controller, due to its visibility limitations, is poorly suited for complex solutions. There is sometimes difficulty in identifying the working status of configurations among a number of devices and when there are errors, rectifying them becomes tiresome.

I don't like the log output of the template jobs and the GUI at all. The logs sometimes need a long time to occure and sometimes has gaps. The GUI is unstable in some sections.

Continuing configurations are blocked of real time visibility by Automation Controller. But without manual digging into logs, its difficult to track the progress of deployments or troubleshoot errors.

Automation Controller delivers on its promise of automating configurations and taking my teams time away from it. Yet the absence of real time visibility and feedback loop is unsettling.
