Ansible Automation Platform consulting and integration

ForgeOne assesses existing Ansible repositories, controller or AWX environments, inventories, credentials, dependencies and organizational requirements. This becomes a target architecture for controllers, execution, content distribution, roles and integrations.

We create or revise execution environments so Ansible Core, Runner, collections, Python libraries and system dependencies can be versioned reproducibly and delivered through a controlled registry.

Delivery includes automation workflows, Git and CI/CD integration, APIs, RBAC, logging, monitoring, backup, updates, documentation and handover to the operations team.

AAP and AWX share technical concepts but should not be treated as equivalent products. AAP is relevant where organizations require a defined enterprise lifecycle, Red Hat support, supported content, automation hub, standardized execution environments and robust governance.

• Design controller, execution and optional mesh topology around sites, networks and workload.
• Qualify existing playbooks, collections and dependencies for supported execution environments.
• Consolidate inventories, credentials, RBAC, workflows, APIs and Git-based approval processes.
• Migrate or evolve existing Ansible and AWX automation with testing and a rollback path.
• Establish lifecycle, updates, backup, monitoring, support routes and knowledge transfer.

Current Red Hat documentation covers AAP 2.6 and describes execution environments as containerized, reproducible automation runtimes. Source: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.6 documentation.
