Event-Driven Ansible is a feature within Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform to help you respond proactively to events within your IT environment. It connects sources of events with corresponding actions via rules. With the advanced capabilities of Event-Driven Ansible, automation becomes mission critical to sustaining IT return on investment (ROI) and performance.
Ansible Rulebooks define the event source and explain what actions to take when specific conditions are met using simple conditional “if-this-then-that” instructions. Based on the rulebook you design, Event-Driven Ansible recognizes the specified event, matches it with the appropriate action, and automatically executes it. Actions can include a variety of responses such as executing an existing Ansible Playbook, escalating the event for further investigation, or creating or enhancing a service ticket with relevant event payload information.
Take a look at these 4 use cases for Event-Driven Ansible.
