Red Hat SummitChapter 2. Why Ansible Automation Platform on Red Hat OpenShift?
Running Ansible Automation Platform 2.3 on Red Hat OpenShift 4.x can provide a more efficient and automated way to deploy and manage the platform, as well as better integration with Red Hat OpenShift’s built-in monitoring, logging, security, and scalability features.
Additionally, using Red Hat OpenShift’s Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) to deploy and manage the Ansible Automation Platform operator can simplify the update and upgrade process, allowing for more control and flexibility.
A further breakdown of those benefits can be seen below:
- Automation: The Ansible Automation Platform operator provides a way to automate the deployment and management of the Ansible Automation Platform on Red Hat OpenShift. This can help you to reduce the time and effort required to deploy and manage the platform, and ensure that it is running in a consistent and predictable way.
- Scalability: The operator can help you to scale the Ansible Automation Platform to meet the needs of your organization. You can easily deploy multiple instances of the platform and manage them from a single location.
- Flexibility: The operator provides a flexible way to deploy and manage the Ansible Automation Platform. You can customize the configuration of the platform to suit your specific needs, and deploy it in different environments, such as development, staging, and production.
- Monitoring and troubleshooting: The operator integrates with Red Hat OpenShift’s built-in monitoring and logging tools, like Prometheus and Grafana, which can be used to monitor the resource usage of the platform and identify any bottlenecks.
- Management and upgrade: Using the Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) that comes with Red Hat OpenShift 4.x, you can easily deploy, manage, and upgrade[1] the Ansible Automation Platform operator across your cluster.
