Be sure to check out our latest blog by @Oren that highlights the deepening integration between Cisco Meraki and the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, which is now available directly through Cisco.
We focus on how automation is no longer just an option but a necessity for maintaining consistency and governance across large-scale, cloud-managed network infrastructures.
Key Highlights:
- Availability via Cisco: Ansible Automation Platform can now be sourced directly from Cisco, providing a unified path for support and procurement.
- Solving "Configuration Drift": For teams managing numerous branch locations, the blog explains how automation eliminates manual errors and intentional inconsistencies that often lead to operational complexity.
- Certified & Validated Content: Users can leverage official Ansible collections to rapidly replace, provision, and maintain gear, specifically addressing hardware nearing its Last Day of Service (LDOS).
- Core Use Cases:
- Branch Provisioning: Standardizing the rollout of new sites.
- Configuration Management: Ensuring all devices adhere to global policies.
- Health Checks: Automating routine operational audits to ensure peak performance.
Why It Matters:
By moving away from manual "box-by-box" management, our teams can increase agility and scalability while gaining better visibility and control across all Meraki organizations and networks.
