The automator takes center stage in our AnsibleFest Keynote recap from Red Hat Summit 2025 in Boston. Host David Walker is joined by guest host Kaete Piccirilli, Director of Product Marketing for Red Hat Ansible Automation, to break down an energetic keynote delivered by Sathish Balakrishnan.
David and Kaete summarize some key takeaways:
● Setting the Stage: Sathish Balakrishnan addressed how automation is crucial for harnessing AI’s value while tackling consistent IT challenges like rising costs, complexity, legacy modernization, virtualization, and security.
● Core Challenges & Virtualization: Tackling the ""3 C’s"" (Complexity, Cost, Compliance) and the ""tectonic shift"" in virtualization, where Ansible Automation Platform plays a key role in managing and migrating workloads.
● Ansible & AI – The Essential Foundation: How Ansible and the Red Hat AI ecosystem help IT operations streamline AI infrastructure delivery, unlock AIOps, and ensure reliability for the growing AI landscape.
● Deepened HashiCorp Integration: Armon Dadgar joined Sathish to announce an expanded collaboration. Get ready for Ansible & Terraform ""better together"" for full lifecycle management, and Ansible & Vault enhancing secure automation. Near-term product integrations are coming!
● The Power of Automators & What’s Next: Inspiring customer stories (Barclays, SWIFT, Google) and a tease of new AI capabilities for Ansible Automation Platform, including Lightspeed Assistant and AIOps features, all designed to empower the automator.
It’s clear: in the age of AI, it is the automators, powered by Ansible, who will pave the way for transformative IT operations.
