Bring Ansible playbooks into a broader operational process.
Use Network RPA to incorporate Ansible playbooks into processes that span Gluware applications and external systems.
WHY IT MATTERS
An existing playbook can be one part of a complete outcome.
Teams often have useful automation investments already in place. The next challenge is connecting them to the surrounding data, approval, validation, and reporting process. Gluware’s Ansible integration allows playbooks to participate in larger processes rather than requiring every part of the process to be rebuilt.
WHAT DIAL PROVIDES
Capabilities built for the work.
Run playbooks from Network RPA
Use the native Run Ansible playbook task to execute a user-defined playbook on a remote system within a Gluware process.
Connect results to the process
Use the playbook response in the surrounding process. The integration supports programmatic handling of returned JSON.
Keep the executor clear
Ansible executes its playbook. Where that playbook invokes Gluware through the separate Gluware Ansible Certified Collection, Gluware performs the requested Gluware operation.
THE BUSINESS CONTRIBUTION
Release capacity for work above the value line.
The enterprise can extend useful automation into a complete operating process. Teams can choose the appropriate execution mechanism for the work and direct new engineering effort toward the remaining business requirements.
PART OF THE FULL STACK
Connect the work to the wider platform.
Network RPA can run an Ansible playbook as a process task. In the reverse direction, Gluware’s Ansible Certified Collection allows Ansible Automation Platform playbooks to invoke Gluware services. The component actually making a device change depends on which of these paths is used.
Orchestration & integrations
Network RPA
Build and run visual processes that connect Gluware applications, external systems, operational logic, scheduling, and traceable tasks.
Orchestration & integrations
Service Connectors
Bring ITSM, CMDB, DDI, and other external systems into Gluware automation processes through service connectors.
AI & builder interfaces
GluAPI
Give external systems a programmatic interface to invoke and coordinate Gluware automation processes.
