Summary

In this chapter, you learned about the importance of simplifying Ansible automation. You explored the advantages of survey features in the automation controller and soft coding opportunities to accept parameters dynamically. This method helps you reuse the same playbook and job templates for different devices and scenarios.

Then, you learned about the integration options between Ansible and other monitoring and alerting tools to implement zero-touch incident fixes. It is possible to utilize the existing ITSM tools and workflows to trigger Ansible automation controller jobs based on the rules and conditions. By utilizing the power of monitoring tools and the automation capabilities of Ansible, an efficient monitoring and remediation system can be implemented.

After that, you explored similar integration opportunities within the security domain for automating threat detection and automated remediation using an automation controller. The security modules and collections...
