Overview
The Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) Proof of Concept by Level Up is a fixed-scope, typically scheduled and delivered over a 30-day calendar period, and designed to help organizations validate the business value of enterprise automation before making larger platform or organizational investments. Working virtually alongside your infrastructure, cloud, platform engineering, or operations teams, Level Up identifies a high-impact infrastructure automation opportunity, implements a production-ready proof of concept, and demonstrates measurable outcomes such as quantifiable IT cost savings, reduced manual effort, improved consistency, faster provisioning, or accelerated operational response times. Red Hat identifies provisioning, operating system management, cloud automation, and infrastructure lifecycle automation as being among the most common and highest-value automation use cases for Ansible Automation Platform.
This engagement is usually centered on a single customer-selected Ansible use case, with either Configuration Management or Provisioning being recommended as the primary focus area for AWS customers by default. Typical examples include automated provisioning of Amazon EC2 instances, operating system configuration and hardening, patch management workflows, application deployment orchestration, or hybrid-cloud infrastructure automation. Using AAP, organizations can move from manual, ticket-driven processes to repeatable, auditable automation workflows managed through a centralized automation platform.
Over the course of approximately 30 days, Level Up conducts discovery, documents current-state processes, defines success criteria, develops and tests automation content, enables IT operational teams, and delivers a final demonstration and readiness assessment. More than being simply a technical proof of concept, the Level Up Ansible POC is a business-focused evaluation that provides stakeholders with a clear, measurable understanding of expected ROI, operational benefits, implementation requirements, as well as recommended next steps for scaling Ansible automation across the enterprise. Following the Level Up Ansible POC, organizations have working automation assets, full ownership of any Ansible playbook/role intellectual property that has been developed during the engagement, along with documented processes, knowledge transfer, and an actionable roadmap for broader Ansible adoption.
Particularly well suited as a companion professional service for Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform on AWS Marketplace, helping customers accelerate time-to-value and reduce adoption risk through a guided, outcome-driven implementation by a Red Hat Premier Partner with deep expertise in Ansible.
