We can use the solution for a group deployment if we have an infrastructure where we need to deploy software onto multiple machines at the same time. The tool should be on an Ansible server, and the server should be able to do SSH to the multiple hosts on which it wants to act.

Initial Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform Review

The most helpful aspects of Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is that it easily allows teams to configure systems, deploy software, and also arrange advanced team workflows that allows configuration management during the initial software provisioning. This has made it one of my most top favorite DevOps tools that is fairly easy to use for software automation that I have used during my IT career.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that I would have liked to have more of was documentation for the software itself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Easy to handle server deployment
What do you like best about the product?
It is user friendly platform where whe can create ansible jobs which will be in Json formate,
using those jobs we can handle the task like running some commands in multiple servers like by providing that group name in the ansible parameter.
This makes me to handle more servers using one single ansible job to run simer command in Al servers.
Most of the I use this ansible tower for deployments and handle patching activities in 1000+ servers in single run.
It's a gui and user friendly platform to understand and handle the server groups.

Some time the platform went to stable/struck state due to some network or other platform issue.
But it's not a big issue as per my openion.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This platform makes to automate the deployments done in more numbers of servers by running single job by passing required parameters.
I can easily understand and group the servers in a group wise and use those group of servers for running single command in them by running playbooks.
It is easy to analyse logs, like where exactly the error was occer while running the playbooks.
Usually before using Red Hat Ansable automation platform, I used to handle 1000+ servers by logging in them and run certain queries, it is more time consuming but using this Red Hat Ansible automation platform I can easing those 1000+ servers at single command job running.
It is easy to configure the platform to access the servers.
