ANSIBLE IS SIMPLE

EASY TO USELearn in hours, not weeks.

EASY TO SHAREContent hub + low learning curve enables sharing.

EASY TO CONTRIBUTEModular code + simple

process allows a diversecommunity to flourish.

EASY TO ADAPTRepeatable patterns

enable you to learn by example, successfully.

What’s Ansible

● App Deployment, Configuration Mgmt, Orchestration● Agentless & Multi Platform (Linux and Windows)

○ Works over SSH

● Readable text playbooks for configuration tasks (YAML) ● Extensible with Modules & Plugins

○ Can be written in a language of your choice that returns JSON

● Easily sharable playbooks - ‘knowledge’

Where CloudForms Helps

Value of CloudForms/Middleware Integration

● Unified Hybrid Cloud Monitoring & Management○ Single console for infrastructure and application management on premise and in the

cloud● Application Portability

○ Migrate applications on-premise or to cloud as needed for cost, security, performance or other reasons

● Application Topology & Performance Insight○ Awareness of the deployment topology of an application across all infrastructure○ Insight into the historical and current performance of applications distributed across

multiple nodes and environments

CloudForms & Middleware Use Cases

● Provision EAP to bare metal host and instrument, deploy apps, modify config

● Provision Virtual Images with EAP, deploy apps and config● Self Service provisioning of “Standardized JBoss images with

configuration”● “Discover” existing JBoss deployments on Hosts & VMs managed by

CloudForms
