Orchestrate Ansible playbooks with the Gluware Certified Collection
Supercharge your Ansible investment with network-native intelligence
WHY IT MATTERS
An existing playbook can be one part of a complete outcome.
Teams often have useful automation investments already in place. Using the Gluware Ansible Certified Collection connects Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) to powerful intent-based network automation, adding native network discovery, drift detection, config auditing, OS lifecycle management, and safe multi-vendor complex change management at scale.
WHAT ANSIBLE INTEGRATION PROVIDES
Gluware and Ansible unified operating model
Gluware builds network intelligence through network and device discovery, defines the intended config state and automates OS patching and complex multi-vendor orchestration. Ansible AAP provides a standard execution and orchestration layer acting as a controller for all jobs, events and results.
Run Ansible 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
Integrate best-of-breed products to build robust orchestration processes.
Extend existing Ansible playbooks with drift detection, config auditing, OS lifecycle management and safe multi-vendor change without replacing a single playbook you have built.
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
How Gluware delivers integrated orchestration.
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.
