I interviewed Walter H. Bentley, Director of Ansible Community Strategy at Red Hat, at the DevConf conference in the Czech Republic.
Ansible Community
Ansible is an open-source automation platform that relies on community contributions and collaboration. The Ansible community is inclusive and global, comprising contributors, users, customers, vendors, and technology partners. Together, they work towards pushing the Ansible ecosystem forward and driving enterprise innovation by solving automation challenges.
The community offers various avenues for engagement and support. Users can participate in forums, mailing lists, and real-time chat rooms to seek help, discuss ideas, and collaborate on topics related to Ansible and its ecosystem. The community also organizes meetups worldwide, providing a platform for individuals to connect, share knowledge, and discuss Ansible-related subjects.
Ansible provides repositories on GitHub for its core project, DevTools, and Ansible Galaxy. These repositories allow users to contribute, access documentation, report bugs, and explore ways to collaborate and improve Ansible.
Through its open and collaborative nature, the Ansible community fosters innovation and provides resources, support, and networking opportunities for individuals interested in automating IT processes.
