My colleague Nuno Martins built a demo: 9.8 PHP RCE CVE drops, patch isn't ready yet, so feed it into CME and let Ansible resolve the CVSS/CWE metadata, query mitigations via MCP, and produce compensating controls you can apply across your fleet now. https://youtu.be/oYLdoRENcaA

Packing for IBM Tech Exchange in Atlanta #redhat #ibm

This video walks through using AI to match incidents to approved Ansible job templates, so your team runs automation they already trust instead of improvising at 3 AM. https://youtu.be/iSuqYeakJ44?si=z2ulXXnoB-LkXasS

My co-worker Aubrey walks through Ansible Automation Platform's self-service portal: per-team service catalogs via RBAC, governed request forms, pre-flight quota checks, and approval gates. Devs get full-stack environments without filing tickets. https://youtu.be/95nhGW8LJwE?si=JzARFUq3aqWQ70yo

Made a video explaining SBOMs: basically an ingredients list for your software. Knowing what's inside your apps and servers is step one for actually responding to vulnerabilities fast. Ansible fits in nicely here. https://youtu.be/HfsQg7zy9jI

Watching a security fix move from merged PR to closed ServiceNow ticket automatically is genuinely satisfying. Ansible handles dev deploy, LB drain, prod smoke test, AI-written audit notes, and rollback, no human coordination required. https://youtu.be/8HhoUy455jE?si=7YUE1Db9AzlW1IKk

Lightwell and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform can operationalize vulnerability remediation end to end. Detect, decide, act, verify... with human approval gates and audit trails built in. Covers Java Maven and Python PyPI workflows too. https://youtu.be/kuvE6ScpMyw?si=hIO0fIrT-4El5oYl

LogicMonitor's Edwin AI + Ansible is a solid combo. My coworker Steve Fulmer wrote up how the integration works for incident insight and governed remediation actions. https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/incident-insight-governed-action-logicmonitor-edwin-ai-and-red-hat-ansible-automation-platform

Built a proportional disk remediation workflow in Ansible Automation Orchestrator. Under 80% it does nothing, 80-95% runs cleanup, above 95% expands the EBS volume in AWS. Same workflow, three different responses, zero humans needed at 2am. https://youtu.be/0aul1DEfU2o

It’s almost October….

Ansible's automation orchestrator handling real ITSM tickets, AI reasoning through incidents, conditional routing, human-in-the-loop approvals, auto-resolving in ServiceNow. Roger Lopez shows what agentic IT ops actually looks like. https://youtu.be/bT4rqJWmigU?si=0jxbCilc-VOih8JA

Transpacific internet infrastructure is honestly fascinating. Sta'O'Nuk will carry 420 Tbps across 20 fiber pairs with encryption baked in at layers 1, 2, and 4. Landing in 2029 and it could genuinely reshape cloud connectivity between North America and Japan.

Security risk management in the AI era is genuinely shifting fast. A colleague of mine broke down 5 concrete ways to keep up. Worth a read if you're thinking about where traditional approaches start to crack. https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/5-ways-augment-security-risk-management-ai-era

Roger Lopez put together a killer demo of automation orchestrator. If you are wondering how the pieces actually fit together, this is worth your time. https://youtu.be/LD7faJXRpHM

“We’re all adults here” was a bold approach to production access. 😬 #IT #SysAdmin #DevOps #CyberSecurity #TechTok #Automation #IPvSean

Just dropped a new video on Automation Orchestrator, the new workflow canvas add-on for Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. Your existing playbooks, job templates, and EDA rulebooks work as nodes instantly, zero rewrites. AI agents, logic nodes, approval gates. https://youtu.be/CUPWc0sIDVw

Check out this breakdown of IBM Instana plus Ansible Automation turning alert chaos into instant remediation. MTTR from hours to minutes, alert fatigue slashed, compliance audit trails baked in. This is how you actually fix observability's last mile. https://youtu.be/sjouT0Nnphg?si=AReEnf_40od7PbvQ

Zach's breakdown on why static credentials are basically security debt waiting to happen. OIDC workload identity feels like the obvious evolution, especially as AI workloads multiply. Worth testing in your environment if you haven't already https://autodotes.com/posts/AY8v7JMU540gt3E49HCn

I made a video about Ansible's two biggest lies: everything showing as changed, and failures hiding in exit code zero. Changed_when and failed_when are how you actually tell the truth. Three practical demos showing exactly when to use them. https://youtube.com/shorts/nlTesFYJEMU?feature=share

I just made a video on looping dictionaries in Ansible using dict2items. It's way simpler than most people think. Pipe your dict through the filter, get keys and values in a list, loop cleanly. Full demo in the video. https://youtube.com/shorts/Sg5G2Xese9c?si=RJht-srLaBj8hZIR

Just read this breakdown of IT automation myths in healthcare and wow, AAP actually solves so many of the problems they call out. Worth the read if you're tired of the same excuses. https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/debunking-it-automation-myths-strategic-blueprint-healthcare-payers

I just dropped a video on enterprise patching with Ansible Automation Platform. Snapshots, parallel RHEL+Windows patching, automatic rollback, compliance reports. One workflow, zero manual toil. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20fK6S1CHL0

Just spun up a Red Hat lab in minutes with zero cost. Brandon's breakdown here is solid, and honestly these interactive environments are a game-changer for actually learning this stuff hands-on https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/interactive-labs-enterprise-lab-environments-ready-minutes-no-cost

My co-worker Aubrey Trotter wrote this killer solution guide on automating Windows cert rotation with Ansible. If you're managing certs at scale, this is genuinely worth the read. https://ansible-tmm.github.io/solution-guides/README-AIOps-Windows-Cert-Rotation

I've been reading about IT automation in healthcare payer systems and there's so much FUD out there. This Red Hat piece actually breaks down what works vs what's just hype https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/debunking-it-automation-myths-strategic-blueprint-healthcare-payers

Red Hat Ansible and AWS scaling telecom automation to millions of devices. Pretty wild for network ops teams https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/ibm-redhat/scaling-telco-automation-to-millions-of-devices-with-managed-red-hat-ansible-automation-platform-aap-on-aws-and-red-hat-openshift-service-on-aws-rosa/

learning ansible for network automation genuinely changes the game. this cisco piece walks through meraki operations in a way that actually makes sense. worth the read if you're tired of manual config hell. https://blogs.cisco.com/developer/elevating-meraki-operations-ansible-automation

One of my favorite Ansible tricks: default(omit). Instead of passing an empty value to a module parameter, it removes the parameter entirely when the variable isn't defined. ✅ Cleaner playbooks ✅ Fewer when statements ✅ More reusable tasks youtube.com/shorts/GSbzv...

What’s up @rduairport.bsky.social ? Why is luggage so slow tonight? #icelandair

Can AI decide when automation should execute? In this demo, Event-Driven Ansible detects an expiring Windows IIS certificate, an LLM evaluates the risk, and Ansible Automation Platform rotates Watch the full workflow here: youtu.be/pX_PzMyYUk4?...

Many automation environments still rely on spreadsheets and static inventories. That’s a problem. In this demo, see how Nautobot as a source of truth can drive automation in Ansible Automation Platform, enabling reliable and scalable workflows. youtu.be/DHnS4IDGaQg #ansible

What if you could talk to your Ansible Automation Platform? In this demo Roger connects an LLM to AAP using an MCP server and Microsoft Copilot Studio so an AI agent can query automation data in real time. Watch the demo 👇 youtu.be/ok_ID1Ldgds?... #Ansible #Automation #AI

🤖 AI Agents are awesome… until they aren’t! What just happened with an 🦞 OpenClaw (ClawdBot/MoltBot) agent in the Matplotlib project on GitHub shows the potential challenges with giving AI Agents (LLM + Tools + Reasoning) the ability to act autonomously. It’s why guardrails and auth are important!

For anyone using telport, that wants to use it with Ansible, I put together this repository on how to get it working with AAP: github.com/ansible-tmm/... Teleport is an identity-aware infrastructure access platform that replaces static SSH keys and passwords with short-lived certs.
