Ansible’s simple automation framework means that previously isolated network administrators can finally speak the same language of automation as the rest of the IT organization, extending the capabilities of Ansible to include native support for both legacy and open network infrastructure devices. Network devices and systems can now be included in an organization’s overall automation strategy for a holistic approach to application workload management.

With Ansible, your network teams will:

  • Use the same simple, powerful, and agentless automation framework IT operations and development are already using
  • Use a data model (a playbook or role) that’s separate from the execution layer (Ansible automation engine) that easily spans heterogeneous network hardware
