The goal of this exercise is to understand Red Hat Insights, and use Ansible to install and configure it on all web nodes.
Red Hat Insights allows you to proactively identify and remediate security, compliance, and configuration risks in your Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® environments. Red Hat Insights is included with a Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscription.
- Enhanced visibility across Red Hat environments with a single tool
- Comprehensive risk identification without manual analysis
- Guidance at your fingertips
- Resolution at scale with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform
Effectively Red Hat Insights will identify security, compliance and configuration risks, and use Ansible Automation Platform to automate and implment the fixes. There is no need to create your own Ansible Playbooks, Red Hat Insights will provide those to Automation controller.
