RedHat has been transitioning away from the agent based automation tool Puppet, in favor of the widely supported Ansible infrastructure, which connects to managed devices over SSH. Raytheon has been using Ansible to help manage the AWIPS system for years. But starting with RHEL8, puppet is no longer supported, so a large effort was made to develop ansible code to setup RHEL8 systems, and apply RHEL8 security baselines.
The Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) provides a system where ansible jobs can be managed, orchestrated, and automated. Come learn how Raytheon is using AAP to manage the AWIPS system, how we scaled the platform in order to support security enforcement on the thousands of devices in AWIPS, and how AAP usage could be further extended to keep AWIPS secure and operational.
