5 questions about Ansible that Elastic Observability can answer

In the blog post by Johan Swanepoel, the focus is on leveraging Elastic Observability to enhance the efficiency and strategic implementation of Ansible-based automation processes. By integrating OpenTelemetry with Elastic Application Performance Monitoring (APM), automation teams can gain valuable insights into their infrastructure, enabling them to identify performance trends, bottlenecks, and overall automation health. The approach allows for the creation of custom dashboards that highlight manual effort savings and areas for optimization, thereby demonstrating the business value of automation to stakeholders. Instrumenting Ansible with Elastic Observability is straightforward, requiring minimal changes to playbooks and configuration within the Ansible environment, including the use of specific Python dependencies and environment variables. This setup facilitates the collection and analysis of telemetry data, offering automation teams actionable information to improve their workflows and justify automation efforts across their organizations.
