Red Hat Ansible Automation Platformの評判・口コミ 全29件

What do you dislike?

Really, the only thing I would like is Ansible Tower to be free. But well, not everything is possible!

What do you like best?

The simplicity of commands to manage a full complex group of servers. It's really easy to see where they are alive or not (via a ping play, for example). With playbooks, you automate the building. What I like the most is that you can use it along Docker, and even Vagrant. At our company, in the next software version we will deploy, we will be using Ansible due to its simplicity. We've already built some of the playbooks

Recommendations to others considering the product

Do not fear, I am still facing superiors to change to Ansible because they are too only-bash-basic-commands and build-everything-on-bash.

What do you dislike?

The major downside is when you need something that is not officially supported. You'll get on galaxy and look for a 3rd party plugin. Some of those are great, but not all.

What do you like best?

Ansible is easy to get into, it has a simplistic configuration and allows for a huge variety of integrations with other services.

What do you dislike?

There is lots of documentation, but it lacks a good API, in the sense of having a set of documents that tell you how all the inner-workings operate. There are many examples, but it can be difficult to find a comprehensive list of all the different operations that Ansible uses, and how things work. This makes the inner-workings feel like a black box, and sometimes you have to resort to a try-this-and-see-what-happens approach to getting it to do what you want. Once you get it running, especially after you've used it more and "get" how it works, it can be pretty frustrating.

What do you like best?

Ansible is a great tool for managing servers, especially for tasks that would traditionally fall under the umbrella of system administration. The ability to manage servers without installing clients (it uses SSH) removes a huge barrier to entry and allows you to use it to manage a large number of devices.

Spend some time reading through documentation, and looking through other people's code (Github, et al) to get an understanding of how it works and what you can do with it (and how). This might make it easier to get up and running and to make sure you can do what you want with it.

What do you dislike?

Support for windows environments are still limited, is better than previous versions but there is still a lot of work to do.

What do you like best?

Ansible born in Linux to manage Linux so the features are designed to be smoothly and very easy to do, for a sysadmin understand how works and start using is very easy, and for developers is easy to manage infrastructure with limited knowledge or background.

Recommendations to others considering the product

If your environment is only Linux or cloud based Ansible is your best option, if you have Windows servers you will need check if your needs can be covered by Ansible.

The initial setup is simple and learn to work with it is very simple for sysadmins and even for developers.

If you can architect your solution with Galaxy should be great, or with Ansible standalone should be enough for most environments.
