Today, we are living in the world of artificial intelligence (AI). With Generative AI, writing code has become simpler. Coding is not about linting, formatting, and debugging anymore.
In this article, you will learn about how Ansible is bringing AI tools to your Integrated Development Environment to make your automation coding experience simpler, smoother, and more efficient.
What is Ansible?
Simply put, Ansible built is a simple IT automation tool that helps you in provisioning infrastructure, install software, and supports application automation through advanced workflows.
Ansible automation can be used to automate daily tasks, improve security and compliance, patch systems, and share automation across your entire organization. Ansible allows you to automate z/OS applications and IT infrastructure as part of your enterprise automation strategy using a proven and consistent approach.
Ansible + AI
Ansible Lightspeed with IBM Watsonx Code Assistant, a new generative AI service for Ansible automation, was announced at Red Hat Summit and AnsibleFest 2023. Ansible Lightspeed with IBM Watsonx Code Assistant helps you to create Ansible code more efficiently. The tool that is available as a Visual Code Extension reads plain English entered by the developer, and then it interacts with IBM watsonx foundation models to generate code recommendations for automation tasks that are then used to create Ansible Playbooks.
