    What is event-driven automation?
    The ability to connect events for
    discrete, actionable intelligence, then
    execute automated actions to
    respond to events and provide
    observation and auditability across
    your automation landscape

  4. Ansible Rulebooks
    Simple declarative decisions through rules
    - name: Automatic Remediation of a web server
    hosts: all
    sources:
    - name: listen for alerts
    ansible.eda.alertmanager:
    host: 0.0.0.0
    port: 8000
    rules:
    - name: restart web server
    condition: event.alert.labels.job ==
    "fastapi" and event.alert.status == "firing"
    action:
    run_playbook:
    name: ansible.eda.start_app
    ▸ Events are processed by a rules engine
    ▹ Rules trigger based on conditions and actions
    can be carried out by the rules engine
    ▹ Rules are organized into Ansible Rulebooks
    ▹ Ansible rules can apply to events occurring on
    specific hosts or groups
    ▸ Conditional management of actions to events
    ▹ Simple YAML structure for logical conditions
    ▹ Events can trigger different types of actions:
    ■ Run Ansible Playbooks
    ■ Run Modules
    ■ Post new events to the event handler
    ▸ YAML-like format familiarity
    ▹ Current Ansible users quickly learn and use
    Rulebook writing

  6. Red Hat wants to accelerate automation, from creation through execution
    Why? Because our customers are under increasing pressure to
    be more efficient, and turn to Ansible automation to help.
    The key to getting the most out of automation, is to drive
    it from an enterprise level. That involves multiple teams
    working together to create automation code.
    Code that scales across domains.
    Code that meets the varied needs of the teams using it.
    Code that is trusted and compliant.

  7. The AI revolution has come to automation
    Bridge skills gaps
    Accessible with natural language
    Expand into new automation domains
    Less time spent coding
    More focus on automation outcomes
    Better code
    Integrating generative AI into automation can greatly enhance the automation
    creation experience, helping creators produce better automation content, more
    quickly.
    The end result? Improved overall efficiency of an organization’s automation efforts,
    improving ROI and time to value.
