* Ansible seamlessly unites workflow orchestration with configuration management, provisioning, and application deployment in one easy-to-use and deploy platform. * Regardless of where you start with Ansible, you’ll find our simple, powerful and agentless automation platform has the capabilities to solve your most challenging problems. * PROVISIONING - Your apps have to live somewhere. If you’re PXE booting and kickstarting bare-metal servers or VMs, or creating virtual or cloud instances from templates, Ansible and Ansible Tower help streamline the process. * CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT - Centralizing configuration file management and deployment is a common use case for Ansible, and it’s how many power users are first introduced to the Ansible automation platform. * APPLICATION DEPLOYMENT - When you define your application with Ansible, and manage the deployment with Tower, teams are able to effectively manage the entire application lifecycle from development to production. * CONTINUOUS DELIVERY - Creating a CI/CD pipeline requires buy-in from numerous teams. You can’t do it without a simple automation platform that everyone in your organization can use. Ansible Playbooks keep your applications properly deployed (and managed) throughout their entire lifecycle. * SECURITY & COMPLIANCE - When you define your security policy in Ansible, scanning and remediation of site-wide security policy can be integrated into other automated processes and instead of being an afterthought, it’ll be integral in everything that is deployed. * ORCHESTRATION - Configurations alone don’t define your environment. You need to define how multiple configurations interact and ensure the disparate pieces can be managed as a whole. Out of complexity and chaos, Ansible brings order. * COMMUNITY-POWERED - Ansible is the most popular open source automation tool on GitHub today. With over 2,000 contributors submitting new modules all the time, rest assured that what you are automating is covered in Ansible already, or will be very soon. * ENTERPRISE READY - Ansible Tower by Red Hat builds on the underlying Ansible automation engine by adding control, security, and delegation capabilities. With Ansible and Tower, your team can automate –and your business can innovate.

* Model-based, highly scalable approach Changes are simple to make and propagate to all environments. No need to maintain complicated scripts or workflows for each deployment instance. * Visual status dashboards - Easily see deployment status across teams, applications and environments * Deployment analytics and reports - Capture metrics, generate reports and analyze the deployment process, so you can continuously improve. * Enterprise security and centralized audit capabilities - Get role-based access for different groups – such as development, operations, and management – to support compliance and governance requirements. With one central tool to manage all processes and automatically capture logs, audit requirements are easy to meet. * Agentless architecture - The only Application Release Automation solution that is agentless across all target platforms. Easily configure firewalls and security appliances, routers, mobile devices and all the target systems you could not normally reach without installing a proprietary agent. * Easy to adopt, easy to use - See results fast and then extend to other systems in your environment at your own pace. It’s easy to set up initially, change processes, and change deployment targets. * Reliable deployments for global enterprises - Satellite is an add-on module for XL Deploy that executes deployments at remote data centers reliably and securely, at scale. It ensures smooth and stable deployments to globally distributed environments, even in the face of unreliable network connections. * Automated Rollback - XL Deploy keeps track of all changes made to your environment, so you can automatically roll back or un-deploy at any point: just a few simple clicks to execute fully-automated recovery and rollback policies. * Jenkins plugin to automate deployments to all environments - Deploy complex releases at scale, more quickly and with fewer errors. Configure only one Jenkins plugin and get a standardized deployment process that works with all of your target platforms.
