Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform has seen wide-scale adoption in a variety of automation domains, however with edge use cases becoming more mainstream, the thought process around automation must shift from “complete a task immediately” to being able to run automation now and later, and respond to incoming automation requests from devices that are yet unmanaged. In addition, if there are exceptions to the “connectivity everywhere” model, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform has https://www.ansible.com/products/automation-mesh to help address more complex connectivity circumstances.

In reality, this is outside of the direct automation itself, instead being a function of the automation platform.

From there, the platform also facilities a form of event-driven automation, triggering work to be done as new devices come online. Caption: Here, the device initiates the process, as opposed to the automation platform initiating it.
