It includes multiple options to help you jumpstart new automation projects, using Ansible Content Collections. With Ansible Content Collections, you can access more than 200 Red Hat Ansible-certified and validated collections, built and delivered by partners and Red Hat so you can automate more quickly. In this blog post, you’ll learn about new and updated content for some of the most common use cases. So, let’s jump into it! Many companies need to manage their windows environments. To supplement the existing capability of the Ansible Windows and Microsoft Active Directory collections, we offer a full suite of new content: Microsoft MECM collection enables granular patch management, orchestration, and zero-downtime patching while integrating with Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (MECM) as the compliance source of truth for Windows environments. MECM Operations content completes operational tasks by bridging MECM with Ansible Automation Platform for Windows, simplifying routine Windows operations, such as orchestrating monthly patch lifecycles and performing infrastructure health checks. Microsoft SCOM collection integrates System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) with Event-Driven Ansible, part of Ansible Automation Platform, to enable real-time remediation triggers, eliminate complex polling scripts, and facilitate self-healing and automated ticketing workflows with AIOps. Microsoft Compliance content offers automated baseline enforcement, continuous compliance verification, non-disruptive drift detection, and audit-ready documentation to perform complex compliance workflows for STIG, CIS, and other standards. These additions allow users to accelerate automation, improve compliance, and streamline operations across their hybrid Microsoft infrastructure.
