Ansible version 2.4 ships with FusionLayer Infinity Playbook as a standard feature.

Thanks to the inclusion, all Ansible users will now be able to leverage FusionLayer Infinity for network and release parameter provisioning as part of their automated Information Technology processes without having to install any additional software on their Ansible instances.

“The inclusion of FusionLayer Infinity Playbook into Ansible as a standard feature is very timely” said Teemu Sorvisto, the Chief Executive of FusionLayer. “With a rapidly growing installed base of joint customers running Ansible and FusionLayer Infinity side by side, we felt that introducing an even simpler way to integrate the two systems would add a lot of value to our enterprise customers.”

FusionLayer centralizes the management of all enterprise networks. With native support for popular infrastructure solutions such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Ansible by Red Hat, Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI), F5 Networks, Microsoft Azure, Nuage by Nokia and VMware, the FusionLayer solution allows all networks and release parameters to be provisioned from a single REST API regardless of whether the network infrastructure is being run in public clouds or in on-premise data centers.

“We have seen an increasing number of enterprise customers that run an architecture consisting of AWS, Cisco, F5, Microsoft and Red Hat” continued Sorvisto. “With plug-and-play support for all these technologies, FusionLayer Infinity is the ideal solution for organizations gearing up for IT transformation projects.”

The Infinity Playbook for Ansible is a standard feature in Ansible version 2.4, and is publicly available to all users with the Ansible community.
