We got easier operations using RH ansible

  • September 06, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We have run 14 private cloud virtualized by Red hat openstack, following up on all this data centers was very difficult, we noticed the flavour of easy operation when we used the automation of Ansible.
What do you dislike about the product?
The integration is not that easy between the OpenStack Orchestration and Ansible and the application, but we reached out target at the end with the help of great support that Red Hat provide.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We don't care about the application sizing the platform is become scaling up and down the VNFs according to the usage, without our manual intervention the service expand when the traffic increase with a certain defined threshold, which is great.

What do you like best about the product?
Ansible is most trending and popular tool for automation now a days. It uses for vm or cloud or even for appliances as well. It's python based automation software which allow us to create n number of roles and task to manage infrastructure in one go.
What do you dislike about the product?
I personally didn't feel anything which is less useful or things I dislike.but ansible can work on developing better UI and managing task via it. Overall there is nothing on this product which I could say things of dislikes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It automated all jobs which we used to do manually. It also allow us to modify or create existing playbooks. It worked with cloud as well so it's good option for terrafom.

Amazing Configuration Application!!

  • April 18, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best thing i like about ansible is push mechanism. Whenever any update on new configuration is available to the server it directly pushes to the nodes connected to it. Unlike chef, nodes do not repeatedly check server for updates.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ansible works fine in Unix/Linux based systems. for windows, they should work on developing more functionalities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
By using ansible, managing server nodes has become easy. Playbooks are written in YAML language which is in human readable format. Unlike chef, it does not have chef-client. Which makes it agentless and less performance overhead.

Andible is a great tool to manage, maintain,deploy configuration and create or delete servers.
You can also run tasks through all servers.
You can categorising your servers to webservers,db ,etc.

Managing more than 100 server without any tool it will be a nightmare.

Ansible makes sysadmin and sys building SOOOO Easy!

  • November 10, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I really like how ansible already knows about how to deal with different platform-specific issues. I can use it for RedHat/CentOS as well as Debian/Ubuntu management and buids. I manage lots of different cloud-based servers, as well as physical servers in different infrastructure. Ansible is intelligent enough and powerful enough for me to write automatic build scripts that handle a variety of chores for me. If I do my part to think ahead and design the ansible script properly, it easy does its part to perform the tasks I give it.
What do you dislike about the product?
For whatever reason, I still don't find the YML syntax as intuitive. I would much rather prefer a structured form like a C struct or XML tagged structure. But that's just me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I manage a LOT of platforms. At peak, I had over 1500 machines out in the wild at various cloud and physical infrastructure points. With ansible, I was able to finally take control of uniform system management tasks like adding users, applying patches, distributing code, testing code, etc across all of those end points, without having to individually login to each one.

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Its free, very simple to use, no coding skill required. One can do end to end automation and easy to add GUI using jenkins.
Being an agentless tool, it also reduces the concern to check agents status every now and then.

Till now i am fully satisfied with the tool and do not find any factor to dislike it. It's really easy and fully secure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have automated the prechecks, postchecks, end to end patching of Linux servers, installation of various agents, user/group management and many more operation tasks
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You can use the tool for almost all operational and automation task. It requires no prior programming skill and is agentless. There are many useful adhoc commands which you will find easy to use as compared to the native for loop in bash script

Deployment made easy

  • September 08, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ansible is one of the best deployment tools out there that can deploy almost all different technology from C/C++ to all the latest stack like AWS, microservices etc. so you don't need to juggle between the tools and deploy everything via ansible, it has capability to generate analytics as well on you job and creates a dashboard for the same. Easy to use and reuse the job for different environment using extra variables. Also you can have logging with different verbosity when troubleshooting. You can use same playbook for multiple component using the project and need not write playbook for each and every repo. You can interact with ansible using api exposed by it to speed up your automation
What do you dislike about the product?
In order to scale you need to have good infrastructure else performance will be impacted. We deploy thousands of components and in order to scale had to create multiple instances of ansible
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a tools that can be used for deployment for a variety of technology from legacy to modern technology suites. We are able to achieve the synergy and centralize all the deployments and also able to achieve continues deployment by invoking ansible api
