Infrastructure Automation

Tailored automation solutions using open source software to drive down costs, with capability to deliver custom enterprise-grade products.

Powered by Ansible

One of the biggest challenges in Linux architecture is maintaining current configuration across the board. Our tool of choice is Ansible - but we can cater to your requirements including Chef and Puppet.

Build & Deploy

Quickly and easily build new infrastructure and deploy changes to existing systems - saving time and money.

Agentless

Connect to servers without installing agents. Unlike Chef & Puppet, Ansible keeps your infrastructure clean.

Automated Patching

Ansible's versatility means it can handle complex tasks like patching with full automation.

  1. 1 Dynamically arrange infrastructure into scalable groups
  2. 2 Test service is working before any changes

  4. 4 Apply monitoring blackout
  5. 5 Drain / stop services
  6. 6 Apply patches
  7. 7 Check if reboot needed & reboot
  8. 8 Wait for server to come back up

Rundeck

Operations-focused front end based in Java with its own automation capabilities. Integrates with Ansible and many other products, making it easy to edit playbooks in the browser.

AWX

Upstream of Ansible Tower, more tightly integrated with Ansible. Provides execution history, logs, access permissions, and scheduled executions.

Automate the Automation

Combining Ansible with AWX or Rundeck, you can create powerful pipelines. Set firewall rules to run on schedule, apply changes out of hours, and automatically test and rollback without user input.
