Automate OpenShift with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform

OpenShift meets Ansible

We have seen many organizations compare themselves on how agile they are in the innovation journeys. When we talk about innovation, there are several aspects around it, like optimizing the existing IT, integrating apps/data/processes, adding and managing cloud infrastructure or modernizing the applications. But in order to partner with lines of business to better compete, there is a need to introduce automation.

If someone asks, “What can we automate?” Below is my answer:

"Every non-interruptive CLI command or any UI which exposes a REST-API is an opportunity to automate."

Whether it be orchestrating configurations, deploying applications or managing infrastructure, etc.

Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform does all that!

Whether managing cloud or cloud-native systems, there is no difference. In this article, I’ll go through integrating an OpenShift cluster with Ansible Automation Platform to help automating Day 0 and Day 2 activities.

When it comes to container orchestration, Red Hat OpenShift has emerged as the leading enterprise level solution, providing a robust platform to manage and scale complex applications with ease. However, manual deployment and management of these applications can be labor intensive and prone to issues.
