In addition to the two-day event, happening on October 18 and 19 in Chicago, Illinois, we’re hosting our first AnsibleFest Partner Day on October 17 to our valued Red Hat Ansible Partners.

Through Red Hat’s Leading with Automation initiative, we are supporting our partners that go the extra mile with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, taking themselves and their customers into the future.

This recent Forrester Consulting study reveals how Red Hat partners can benefit from theAnsible Automation Platform, including potential opportunities for increased revenue, increased number of deals, creating longer engagements, and providing more strategic value to customers.

Introducing Ansible Inside, a product offering specifically designed to allow software developers to embed Ansible directly within their applications, in a more scalable and robust way.

Red Hat Ansible has introduced a new product offering specifically designed for our partners who curate and use Ansible in their services practices: Private Partner Automation Hub. It enables partners to share their content with their own specific audience.

The certification of preflight for containers can be time-intensive, especially when testing at scale. This blog explores how leveraging Ansible's asynchronous processing and parallel execution can optimize Red Hat's certification workflows. By integrating these features into Distributed-CI (DCI), tasks such as CVE scanning, testing, and report submission can be executed in parallel, reducing certification times by up to 74% when tested with 20 container images. We provide insights into implementing these enhancements for efficient, large-scale CNF testing, aligning with Kubernetes best practices.
