How AAP + Gluware work together
Gluware meets you where you are. If your team already runs Ansible Automation Platform, Gluware slots in as the network-native layer extending your existing playbooks with drift detection, config auditing, OS lifecycle management, and safe multi-vendor change without replacing a single workflow you’ve built.

Where Gluware Extends AAP
Built for networks. Not bolted on. AAP is a world-class horizontal automation platform. Gluware is purpose-built for networks. Together, they cover every automation need with neither team compromising on the tools they know best.
| Feature | How Gluware Extends AAP |
|---|---|
| Brownfield Network Discovery | Gluware Device Manager automatically discovers, fingerprints, and inventories every device across your existing network — no pre-built inventory files required. AAP sees a live, validated device list the moment you connect. |
| Continuous Config Drift Detection | Real-time snapshots compare the running configuration against the golden intent. Drift is surfaced instantly, not discovered after an outage. Flag deviations in seconds across thousands of devices without writing a single playbook. |
| Intent-Based Config Audit | Pre-built compliance policies enforce security standards, regulatory requirements, and operational baselines across every vendor simultaneously. Automated reports replace manual audits with integrated remediation. |
| Multi-Vendor OS Lifecycle | OS Manager orchestrates image staging, upgrade sequencing, pre- and post-validation, and rollback across Cisco, Arista, Juniper, F5, and 22+ vendors from a single workflow. No per-vendor playbook maintenance required. |
| Safe Change at Scale | Every change is validated against the real device state before and during execution. Gluware's DIAL engine normalises CLI and API differences across 55+ OS families, so your intent is applied correctly regardless of vendor or firmware version. |
| No-Code Network RPA | Build complex multi-step, multi-vendor workflows visually, drag-and-drop CLI outputs as variables, branch on conditions, and chain across device types. Automation builders move 100× faster without writing YAML conditionals by hand. |
