DevOps(Development and Operations) is an enterprise software development phrase, and as we know development and operations work is unified. This unification is very important for modern test-driven application design. Hence, Ansible integrates this by producing a reliable environment to both development and operations emerging in smooth orchestration.

Let’s consider now ‘how Ansible manages the total DevOps infrastructure’.

When developers started to think about infrastructure as part of their application i.e as Infrastructure as code (IaC), stability and performance became standardized. Infrastructure as Code is the process of controlling and provisioning computing infrastructure and their configuration through machine-processable definition files, rather than physical hardware configuration or the use of interactive configuration tools. This is where Ansible automation plays an extensive role and stands out among its peers.

In DevOps, System Admins work hard with developers, development speed is improved, and more time is used to do activities like performance tuning, experimenting, and getting things done, and less time is spent repairing issues. Refer to the diagram below to understand how the tasks of sysadmins and other users are simplified by Ansible.

How does Ansible automation, help in DevOps?

• Speedup feedback loop
• Find bugs sooner
• Decreases risk of tribal knowledge
• Faster, co-ordinations and more reliable deployment
• Minimize shadow IT
• Decreases deployment time
• Provision systems faster
• Deploy automated patching

Red Hat Training and Certification helps IT professionals become skilled, proven, and ready to successfully automate, configure, and manage Ansible to create and standardize centralized automation practices, that add business value and build a strong foundation for DevOps. When you decide to do training with Red Hat System Administration III: Linux Automation (RH294) course at Spectrum Softtech Solutions Pvt Ltd you will take the fundamental step on DevOps.
