Ansible Collaborative

A gathering space to build automation skills and success

Welcome to the Ansible® Collaborative, a destination for Ansible users, customers, partners, and vendors to learn and share automation content.

What is Ansible?

No matter your role, or your automation goals, Ansible can help you connect teams and deliver efficiencies.

Ansible is an open source IT automation engine that automates provisioning, configuration management, application deployment, orchestration, and many other IT processes. It is free to use, and the project benefits from the experience and intelligence of its thousands of contributors.

Red Hat® Ansible Automation Platform combines more than a dozen upstream projects into a unified, security-hardened enterprise platform for mission-critical automation. It builds on the foundation of the open source project to create an end-to-end automation experience for cross-functional teams.

Automate Policy as Code for consistency and compliance

Ansible’s automated Policy as Code capabilities will help you automate compliance and policy enforcement across the full operational life cycle that now includes AI—from creating automation to managing IT processes at scale. Join the Ansible Policy as Code advocacy group to learn best practices, share your ideas with others, and help to shape this technology as it develops.

Ready to move from patchwork to platform?

You already know the benefits of upstream Ansible tools. But if your organization is ready to take automation to the next level, it's time to consider Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. It delivers more capabilities-like event-driven automation and generative AI-that reduce manual effort and increase efficiency, as well as enhanced security and end-to-end technical support.
