What differentiates Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform from other similar products?
Other solutions require installing agents on managed nodes. Ansible on the other end communicates over SSH, providing a lightweight and flexible configuration management system.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The playbooks. They allow me to express configuration, deployment, and orchestration steps in a declarative YAML format.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The documentation is so extensive but might benefit from more beginner-friendly guides
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I'd recommend starting with small, well-documented projects to grasp the fundamentals. Then explore the vast collection of Ansible modules and playbooks available in the community
