Ansible automation
Ansible is how we keep fleets consistent: one playbook builds a server the same way every time, patches run on a schedule and drift gets corrected instead of accumulating. It works on Linux, Windows (via WinRM or SSH) and network gear.
We write playbooks and roles in Git, run them from AWX or Ansible Automation Platform when a business needs a UI and audit trail, and teach internal staff to use them.

How we work
Linux fleets stay healthy through automation and discipline. We build servers from a standard image with Ansible, patch them on a schedule with a staging ring, keep SELinux or AppArmor on, and log everything to a central collector. The result is a fleet that looks the same everywhere and can be rebuilt from Git.
Migrations, whether CentOS to Rocky, RHEL 8 to 9 or Windows to Linux, are done per workload with a test pass, a cutover window and a rollback. We coordinate with application vendors and keep the paperwork for compliance.
Subscriptions and licences are reviewed as part of the work. Plenty of businesses pay for RHEL where Rocky would do, or run unsupported CentOS where a subscription would satisfy an auditor. We fix both directions.

Frequently asked questions
Ansible or Terraform?
Terraform creates infrastructure; Ansible configures what runs on it. Most environments use both.
