Use case
Hybrid cloud automation with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform
Overview
Every hybrid cloud incorporates some degree of workload portability, orchestration, and management across diverse environments. The challenge is to standardize configuration and deployment across all kinds of clouds—public, private, and hybrid—using a single, consistent automation platform.
Whether your hybrid cloud takes an infrastructure-first approach—like a public cloud attached to your private cloud; multiple public clouds; or some combination of bare-metal, virtual, and cloud environments—or is a hosted cloud-native application, Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform can manage, coordinate, and operationalize them under a single set of processes and policies.
Connect your clouds
Public clouds
Automate infrastructure and configuration across multiple cloud providers—including AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and more.
Private clouds
Automate physical and virtual infrastructure. Connect on-premise environments and workloads to cloud infrastructure and cloud-native services.
Cloud-native workloads
Use Ansible Automation Platform with Red Hat OpenShift® to automate the deployment and management of containerized solutions across cloud infrastructure.

Operationalize
Get a view into your CloudOps—what's running where. Automatically access cloud-native applications and cloud provider capabilities to oversee underlying IT infrastructure, manage and configure cloud instances, and troubleshoot.
Orchestrate
Manage, track, and optimize cloud operations through a single interface, without having to navigate between multiple providers' domain-specific tools. Deploy, retire, coordinate, and migrate cloud instances with reusable automation workflows—and reduce related manual tasks with Event-Driven Ansible.
Govern
Automate governance policies to set up common experiences across clouds, schedule enforcements across geographic (or virtual) locations, turn off or reallocate unused resources, move and copy resources off clouds, and more.
