Multi-Playbook workflows, scale-out clustering,
and new search capabilities help further deliver automation to IT
teams
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open
source solutions, today announced the general availability of
Ansible Tower 3.1, the latest version of its enterprise-grade,
agentless automation platform. Ansible Tower by Red Hat helps
enterprises cut through the complexities of modern IT environments
with powerful automation capabilities that can improve productivity
and reduce downtime. New additions to the latest version of the
platform enable enterprises to better scale DevOps automation and
offer the ability to link multiple Playbooks into longer, more
complex jobs, enhancing productivity across the business.
Ansible Tower by Red Hat internally uses the popular Ansible
open source automation project to help teams more effectively
manage systems and optimize multi-tier deployments while adding
control, security and delegation capabilities. Ansible Tower 3.1
includes several new and enhanced features to help provide greater
value to IT teams, including:
- Multi-Playbook workflows enable
users to more easily string together multiple existing jobs
templates into a single job run - without the need to create
additional Playbooks. Powerful workflows can be designed complete
with decision points, logic branches, and integrated notifications
to fully orchestrate the application lifecycle.
- Scale-out clustering increases
the number of jobs that can be run simultaneously.
- A more streamlined job details
page provides more applicable information that can be
understood and used by a wider audience across the enterprise. The
job details page now provides job output searching, and formats the
data for easier reading and analyzing without having to leave the
Tower user interface.
- Integration with enterprise logging
providers allow for automation results to be indexed,
monitored, and acted on as part of enterprise-wide analytics and
log aggregation installations.
- Universal search functionality
allows users to search and filter throughout Tower by the executing
user, job templates by the inventory used, and more.
- User interface localized for two new
languages, Japanese and French. The translated interface
provides for Ansible Tower 3.1 use across the global
enterprise.
Availability
Ansible Tower 3.1 by Red Hat is available now through the Red
Hat Customer Portal.

Tim Cramer, head of engineering, Ansible, Red Hat“DevOps teams
look to IT automation to help speed productivity and manage complex
deployments. The new workflow functionality in Ansible Tower 3.1
takes those capabilities a step further by helping to make
automation even more intuitive. With workflows, users can run
separate playbooks in a dependent fashion, including the ability to
run different playbooks based on the success or failure of the
prior job - further reducing manual process and enabling faster
time to market.”
Mary Johnston Turner, research vice president, IDC“Open source
automation technologies are important in the continued successful
evolution and adoption of DevOps within enterprise IT. Beyond just
providing automation tools, these technologies help collaborative
development and operations teams to cut through the complexities of
configuring and optimizing modern computing environments. Ansible
Tower 3.1 addresses these priorities by automating complex
workstreams and making it easier for a wide range of developer and
IT operations teams to apply automation to their day to day
roles.”
