Red Hat, Inc., a leading provider of open source solutions, is providing the general availability of Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform Service on AWS as a managed offering in AWS Marketplace—making it easier for customers to manage their hybrid cloud infrastructure by streamlining and operationalizing otherwise complex and potentially error-prone activities.As a managed offering available in AWS Marketplace, Ansible Automation Platform helps IT teams to start automating on day 1. Red Hat and AWS customers with varying automation experience can now access a faster and simpler way to deploy automation at scale through a cloud-optimized solution, without having to learn a new tool or integrate additional technologies into their operations.
Ansible Automation Platform Service on AWS works with AWS billing for full visibility into costs in one place, while also counting toward committed spend agreements with AWS.
Red Hat offers both managed and self-managed options for Ansible Automation Platform on AWS to meet the varying needs of customers with cloud-native or cloud-first IT strategies:
- The self-managed offering brings greater customization and configuration, so regulated industries, or their managed services partners, can manage their own tooling for cloud deployments that require enhanced security.
- Adding a Red Hat-managed-and-monitored solution brings the value of premium support from Red Hat, enabling organizations to focus on innovation through automation instead of managing the platform, from scaling, upgrades, and more.
The Red Hat-managed offering also enables Red Hat services partners to accelerate their customers' automation journey through the rapid deployment and development of Ansible Playbooks.
Ansible Automation Platform is the mission-critical automation solution for operating complex hybrid clouds, from the datacenter to multiple public clouds to the edge, along with AI applications at scale.
The addition of managed offerings in AWS Marketplace furthers Red Hat’s goal to extend a common IT automation solution wherever organizations operate by bringing multiple tailored offerings to major cloud providers.
“Businesses can only achieve their goals if automation is viewed as essential to the enterprise IT strategy. But to perform automation as a true, mission-critical IT strategy, there needs to be a capable and broadly available platform that unifies and propels continuous innovation. Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform as a managed offering in AWS Marketplace helps us to further equip our customers with the right technology at the right time, enabling them to exceed their goals and expand what’s possible with mission-critical automation,” said Sathish Balakrishnan, vice president and general manager, Ansible, Red Hat.
