It's no secret that IT operations is a complex area. Teams face demanding workloads, where many tasks have to be completed quickly. Objectives typically focus on smooth and resilient operations, and enabling fast innovation to support organizational needs. In their distinct role, security teams must manage risk and compliance, respond quickly to incidents, protect data, and govern access. All these priorities must be simultaneously met, and this leaves the ITOps and SecOps teams searching for the best ways to collaborate. In this article, This article provides an overview of how Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform can automate nearly any task for an IT organization, bridging the gaps between IT and security needs.Provisioning and orchestration: Seamless security integration from the startAnsible Automation Platform includes an automation orchestrator (in Technology Preview) that allows teams to automate a series of tasks across a workflow and to leverage your automation mode of choice, such as tactical, event-driven, and agent-driven.These workflows can include multi-domain steps in a process, for example, provisioning a Red Hat Enterprise Linux server, creating virtual machines, orchestrating across related infrastructure such as networks, storage, and applications, and embedding security processes into these workflows (see figure 1 for an example) for seamless implementation.
