Developing Advanced Automation with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform

Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2 simplifies development and use of Ansible Playbooks at scale, by introducing new features such as Ansible Content Collections and automation execution environments.

Automation content navigator (ansible-navigator) extends and can replace many previous Ansible commands, including ansible-playbook.

An Ansible Content Collection provides a set of related Ansible modules, roles, and plug-ins that are supported by the same group of software developers.

Automation execution environments are container images that contain a specific version of Ansible Core, Ansible Content Collections, and any Python libraries, executables, or other dependencies needed to run playbooks.

You should manage your automation content in a version control system, such as Git, which enables you to track and control changes to your automation code.

Implementing recommended practices facilitates collaboration and reduces potential problems.
