Open-sourcing the popular Ansible Role-sharing
platform is aimed at advancing automation and enabling Ansible
users to set up private Galaxy servers
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open
source solutions, today announced the launch of the Ansible Galaxy
project with the full availability of Ansible Galaxy’s open-sourced
code repository. Ansible Galaxy is Ansible's official community hub
for sharing Ansible Roles. By open-sourcing Ansible Galaxy, Red Hat
further demonstrates its commitment to community-powered innovation
and advancing the best in open source automation technology.
The upstream Ansible project is one of the most popular open
source automation projects on GitHub with an active and highly
engaged community, encompassing over 2200 contributors. The number
of Fortune 100 companies using Ansible automation to power large
and complex private cloud environments has grown.
Ansible Roles are content directories that are structured in a
conventional way to enable simple reuse, refactoring and sharing of
processes in ways that are highly portable across teams,
organizations and environments. Ansible Roles act as the “common
language” of Ansible functionality, and may include variables,
handlers, files, templates, tasks and modules.
As Ansible Roles are more widely used by organizations, the
Ansible Galaxy project has emerged as the best way to organize,
search and share them. With an open source Ansible Galaxy project,
organizations can set up a private Galaxy server, using the native
Ansible Galaxy client, redirected to their own private Galaxy
repository. Users and organizations can now also submit new
features and enhancements directly to the Ansible Galaxy
codebase.

Galaxy, in new and interesting ways.”
