Red Hat Brings Ansible Automation to KubernetesCategory: Kubernetes, Architecture, automation, ansible
Red Hat’s Ansible automation platform is soon coming to an OpenShift Kubernetes cluster near you. This week at AnsibleFest, Red Hat previewed an Ansible integration with Advanced Cluster Management (ACM), a tool for managing and scaling OpenShift clusters across the hybrid cloud released earlier this year.
You could always use Ansible in an OpenShift environment, but what we’ve done here is we’ve instrumented it. For example, during cluster lifecycle creation, there’s a place where you can actually configure an Ansible playbook to be run at the appropriate point in time,” explained Joe Fitzgerald, vice president and general manager of the management business unit at Red Hat.
While the name Advanced Cluster Management might appear to insinuate that the tool is intended only for those with more complicated OpenShift deployments, Fitzgerald said that, to the contrary, it has seen interest in the tool “regardless of scope and size,” with an “almost universal interest in ACM across our customer base.”
