Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform can help you orchestrate, operationalize and govern your hybrid cloud deployments. In my last public cloud blog, I talked about https://www.ansible.com/blog/two-simple-ways-automation-can-save-money-on-aws and similarly to Ashton’s blog https://www.ansible.com/blog/bringing-order-to-the-cloud-day-2-operations-in-aws-with-ansible, we both wanted to look outside the common public cloud use-case of provisioning and deprovisioning resources and instead look at automating common operational tasks.

Use Ansible Automation Platform to install an application; in my case, I am literally installing our product Ansible Automation Platform (is that too meta?).

Now you can see one of the many ways that Ansible Automation Platform and Packer can easily and seamlessly work together to accomplish cloud automation tasks.
