Integration > Ansible
Ansible
Ansible is Red Hat’s open-source automation platform, spanning lightweight playbook-based automation and the enterprise Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) controller for automation at scale. CertSecure Manager integrates with both, running playbooks directly or launching certificate jobs against AAP job templates.
- Ansible Playbooks
- Ansible Automation Platform
Use Cases
Automate certificate issuance and deployment across Linux and Windows servers, ensuring consistent security with both new and renewed certificates.
Cross-Platform Deployment
Integrates with Ansible playbooks to deploy certificates to both Linux target servers and Windows target servers.
Lifecycle Automation
Issue, monitor, renew, and redeploy certificates using Ansible playbooks integrated with CertSecure Manager.
Consistent Security
Ensures all applications across environments maintain up-to-date and secure certificate configurations.
Launch certificate deployment and renewal automation on AAP job templates directly from CertSecure Manager.
Automation-Driven Deployment
Launches certificate deployment and renewal playbooks from CertSecure Manager against AAP job templates, with every run tracked in CertSecure’s job history.
Auto-Provisioned Project
CertSecure automatically provisions a dedicated project in the target AAP organization on first connection, removing manual project setup.
Flexible Targeting
Supports built-in playbooks for common server types (nginx, Apache, IIS, Tomcat, MongoDB, MS SQL, Oracle) as well as fully custom, variable-driven playbooks.
