Ansible Automation Platform Certified and Validated Content
Table of Contents
Overview
Ansible Automation Platform includes certified and validated content collections. Certified collections are fully supported by Red Hat partners. Validated content provides an expert-led approach for automating your platform portfolio across infrastructure, networking, cloud, security, and edge use cases.
Certified content may be downloaded and installed from Ansible Automation Hub
NOTES:
- Ansible Automation Hub requires a valid Red Hat Ansible subscription for access.
- A subset of the certified collections below are developed, tested, built, delivered, and supported by Red Hat.
- For issues that involve both Red Hat and a third party, when opening a case with Red Hat, a customer may be asked to open a ticket with the third party as well for additional support/collaboration through TSANet. For more information consult the "Collaboration between partners" section of Best practices for engaging with Red Hat Support.
- For information on supported versions of Ansible, see the AAP Life Cycle.
Certified Content in Ansible Automation Hub
All certified content can be viewed in the Red Hat Catalog. Each collection entry contains information on the latest available version, collection documentation, and which version of AAP it has been certified for.
Validated Content in Ansible Automation Hub
Ansible validated content focuses on delivering an expert-led approach for automating your platform portfolio across infrastructure, networking, cloud, security, and edge use cases.
Ansible validated content collections contain pre-built YAML content (such as playbooks or roles) to address the most common automation use cases. You can use Ansible validated content out-of-the-box or as a learning opportunity to develop your skills. It's a trusted starting point to bootstrap your automation: use it, customize it, and learn from it.
Due to the focus on customization and the intent for this content to be modified, it is not subject to the same support requirements as our certified collections. To this end, any issues with this content should be filed directly at the source repository for that collection.
