As organizations look for new ways to increase agility and enhance their digital innovation, automation has become a core strategic objective. However, when different departments in an organisation use disparate automation tools, the lack of a centralised strategy can lead to inhibited content sharing and governance—lengthening the time to reach the business goals that automation sets out to achieve.
Unsupported solutions such as AWX and community Ansible may be the right fit for smaller organisations. However, if your organisation seeks to operationalise its automation efforts into an enterprise-wide strategy, a more comprehensive platform is required. For a fully featured, secure, enterprise automation platform that can keep pace with an organisation's strategy and goals, many organizations are choosing a paid subscription to Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform.
In this webinar we’ll cover:
* The commonalities and differences between community Ansible (AWX) and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform
* When should an organisation consider upgrading to expand their enterprise-grade automation strategy
* How Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform can support an organisation's Enterprise Automation Strategy, to simplify and enhance IT operations
