Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform Stability

JA
Information Technology Engineer at London Stock Exchange PLC

The stability is okay for our project. 

Large organizations like us have workloads for 55,000 people so need enterprise-level features. We are with the government so we have a lot of important data.

We have not had any issues with Ansible. One of the projects that we have allocated for this year is to migrate our control station from RHEL 6 to RHEL 7.

We really don't have anyone maintaining it. It was a plug and play solution. We downloaded Ansible and ran it, because everyone knows how to use Ansible on the team at this point. Right now, I am trying to get to the next phase of using Git to set up more version control.

Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is quite stable. If you set it up correctly with the right configurations and there are no hiccups during installation and deployment, it will be stable.

I'd give stability a rating of eight out of ten.

The stability of Ansible is great. Historically, we have had some compatibility issues, such as during a Python change a library had to be downgraded. Other than that kind of minor issue, the product has been very stable.

The solution is stable.

The solution has reduced the amount of downtime for users. It can automate some maintenance activities, which are out of operating time. If those activities can be automated, that can dramatically reduce downtime. If those activities can't be re-automated, then it's semi-automated, which would mean human effort plus automation together. In general, yes, we can automate maintenance or downtime activities, but that depends on the input for this. If there is some sort of disaster, then there would be a different approach.

It is quite stable. It has been good so far. I didn't find any bugs. 

We do our operating system-related configurations and router configurations by using Ansible. I am focusing on operating system-based configuration because I use it in the operating system, and it has been quite stable.

I believe no other tool can match the stability of Ansible. It is an agentless tool; it is SSH. Other comparable tools, like Puppet, Salt, and Chef, all require some kind of agent on the target node. Ansible only requires a Python dependency, which is very common in any operating system.

It is definitely a workhorse. It does our back-end deployment, so we utilize it very heavily. We're committing too much to it, so we have it highly available. We built some redundancies around it just in case it ever goes down, because it's a big part of our work.

Tower is stable, and AWX is not. AWX is not meant to be in production. 

Tower is very stable. Sometimes the job isolation can cause me to rip out my hair, but I know now that it is the job isolation and not an issue on my end. So, I'm good now.

Solutions Engineer at a tech services company with 51-200 employees

From an Ansible perspective, it is stable. Working more on the networking side, typically the challenge is with the particular networking device that we're dealing with: specifically, getting structured data returned, with the consistency of the CLI, across platforms. The challenges are not necessarily Ansible, per se, they're more because of the variety of vendors.

It's impossible to tell Ansible, "Okay, handle every use case possible, every version of code." I've been trying to identify issues with platforms and how we can address them by fixing a module or parsing that data properly, without having to get Cisco to fix it in our code. That approach is somewhat backward, but we've had to deal with it a few times.

CS
Senior Network Engineer at ePlus Technology

It has become a more stable product over the past two years. Ansible has put a focus on network, so a lot of things have changed rapidly. I have been trying to stay on a release for awhile until I can figure out how the new stuff works. For example, they just changed the connection type to network CLI from local.

It hasn't been always stable, but when it has been unstable, it was for a good reason: To get to a better place. The stability is getting there, if it is not already there.

CM
System Engineer at a tech vendor

After I built it, it was given to another department to manage. From what I'm seeing, it is reliable, since we've clustered it together. We have a cluster of Towers within each different environment, Dev, UAT, and Prod, and that controls which Playbook is executed in which environment. In regards to the clustering and it staying available, it's stable.
