Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform in the AWS Marketplace

Businesses everywhere are grappling with change, led by evolving customer expectations and shifting market conditions. To help overcome these challenges, organizations need to develop and deploy new applications with speed and efficiency. 

In partnership since 2008, Red Hat and Amazon Web Services (AWS) provide businesses with the tools and resources they need to make innovation easier and strengthen their competitive edge. Among the tools available as part of this collaboration is Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform available via AWS Marketplace.

Research shows that many organizations see the potential for automation to make their IT teams more efficient, help cut costs, and speed time to return on investment.² Backed by 25 years of history and designed with hybrid cloud infrastructure in mind, Ansible Automation Platform can help you better define, deploy, and support your AWS capabilities. As a result, you can realize the full potential of your hybrid cloud migrations in the following ways:

• Accelerate your business: Ansible Automation Platform speeds business outcomes through more rapid development and deployment and simplified operations.
• Increase collaboration: Ansible Automation Platform supports automation that is easily created, shared, and managed across the organization.
• Optimize conditions for growth: Ansible Automation Platform makes scalable innovation across clouds possible, providing you with a consistent automation experience everywhere in your organization.

Deployment speed is important, but so is cost certainty. As businesses consider their hybrid cloud plans, many must be mindful of their committed spend and their ability to use any negotiated discounts or other entitlements available to them through their cloud providers. 

To that end, Ansible Automation Platform is now available through the AWS Marketplace as a self-managed offering. There are cost and efficiency benefits to purchasing Ansible Automation Platform through the AWS Marketplace, including:

• Meeting your cloud spend commitments: You can apply a percentage of your Ansible Automation Platform purchase toward your spend commitments, which may also help you meet your cloud budget requirements.
• Benefitting from best-of-both-worlds support. When you deploy Ansible Automation Platform through the AWS Marketplace as a self-managed solution, you will benefit from Red Hat’s Premium Support for Ansible Automation Platform, and AWS support for your cloud infrastructure. Premium Support from Red Hat provides unlimited 24x7 access to our global network of experienced technical support engineers, in addition to all of the documented solutions available through the Red Hat Customer Portal.
