I made a video about Ansible's two biggest lies: everything showing as changed, and failures hiding in exit code zero. Changed_when and failed_when are how you actually tell the truth. Three practical demos showing exactly when to use them. https://youtube.com/shorts/nlTesFYJEMU?feature=share

I just made a video on looping dictionaries in Ansible using dict2items. It's way simpler than most people think. Pipe your dict through the filter, get keys and values in a list, loop cleanly. Full demo in the video. https://youtube.com/shorts/Sg5G2Xese9c?si=RJht-srLaBj8hZIR

Just read this breakdown of IT automation myths in healthcare and wow, AAP actually solves so many of the problems they call out. Worth the read if you're tired of the same excuses. https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/debunking-it-automation-myths-strategic-blueprint-healthcare-payers

I just dropped a video on enterprise patching with Ansible Automation Platform. Snapshots, parallel RHEL+Windows patching, automatic rollback, compliance reports. One workflow, zero manual toil. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20fK6S1CHL0

Just spun up a Red Hat lab in minutes with zero cost. Brandon's breakdown here is solid, and honestly these interactive environments are a game-changer for actually learning this stuff hands-on https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/interactive-labs-enterprise-lab-environments-ready-minutes-no-cost

My co-worker Aubrey Trotter wrote this killer solution guide on automating Windows cert rotation with Ansible. If you're managing certs at scale, this is genuinely worth the read. https://ansible-tmm.github.io/solution-guides/README-AIOps-Windows-Cert-Rotation

I've been reading about IT automation in healthcare payer systems and there's so much FUD out there. This Red Hat piece actually breaks down what works vs what's just hype https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/debunking-it-automation-myths-strategic-blueprint-healthcare-payers

Red Hat Ansible and AWS scaling telecom automation to millions of devices. Pretty wild for network ops teams https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/ibm-redhat/scaling-telco-automation-to-millions-of-devices-with-managed-red-hat-ansible-automation-platform-aap-on-aws-and-red-hat-openshift-service-on-aws-rosa/

learning ansible for network automation genuinely changes the game. this cisco piece walks through meraki operations in a way that actually makes sense. worth the read if you're tired of manual config hell. https://blogs.cisco.com/developer/elevating-meraki-operations-ansible-automation

One of my favorite Ansible tricks: default(omit). Instead of passing an empty value to a module parameter, it removes the parameter entirely when the variable isn't defined. ✅ Cleaner playbooks ✅ Fewer when statements ✅ More reusable tasks youtube.com/shorts/GSbzv...

🤖 AI Agents are awesome… until they aren’t! What just happened with an 🦞 OpenClaw (ClawdBot/MoltBot) agent in the Matplotlib project on GitHub shows the potential challenges with giving AI Agents (LLM + Tools + Reasoning) the ability to act autonomously. It’s why guardrails and auth are important!

For anyone using telport, that wants to use it with Ansible, I put together this repository on how to get it working with AAP: github.com/ansible-tmm/... Teleport is an identity-aware infrastructure access platform that replaces static SSH keys and passwords with short-lived certs.
