RHAAP | Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform Premium. Sold in 100 node packs | $19,250.00 |
Dimensions summary
This listing offers one pricing dimension: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform Premium. You buy it as a contract, sold in packs of 100 nodes. A node is a managed system the platform automates. To scale, you add more 100-node packs, so your cost grows with the number of systems you automate. The subscription bundles the platform's automation tools, event-driven capabilities, content collections, and life-cycle support under one commitment. There are no separate tiers or usage add-ons here; pricing is set entirely by how many 100-node packs you commit to.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
A node is a managed system the platform automates, such as a server, virtual machine, network device, or cloud instance. Each managed system counts as one node. The platform manages Windows, Linux, and other IT workloads across datacenter, cloud, and edge environments.
You buy additional 100-node packs to raise your covered node count. Packs are sold in fixed increments of 100 nodes, so scaling means adding whole packs. Your cost grows with the number of packs you commit to under the contract.
The subscription bundles the platform's automation tools, an event-driven solution, content collections with modules and playbooks, analytics, and life-cycle technical support. You also get certified partner content and access to hosted management services under one contract commitment.

Powerful automation tool with a slight learning curve
Reviewed on Oct 10, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
What I appreciate most is how consistent and repeatable our server provisioning and deployments have become using YAML playbooks. It handles both Linux and Windows environments smoothly, and integrating it into our existing CI/CD pipelines was relatively straightforward. The collection support and built-in modules save our team countless hours compared to writing custom shell scripts from scratch.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve for writing clean, scalable roles and playbooks can be pretty steep for junior team members. Additionally, troubleshooting failed tasks across massive enterprise inventories can sometimes require digging through dense logs, and the licensing cost can be restrictive if you are scaling up a smaller team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In our environment, we use Ansible heavily for automating server patch jobs and pulling critical system telemetry for our AIOps platform. It eliminates manual intervention across large-scale infrastructure, ensuring timely security patching and compliance. Fetching real-time telemetry helps our event-correlation systems spot anomalies early, reducing downtime and lowering MTTR across our operations.

Efficient Automation with Some Learning Curves
Reviewed on Apr 17, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I like the simplicity of Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. It doesn't require an agent on the servers, just SSH, which makes management much easier. I also appreciate that the playbooks in YAML are easy to read and maintain. Additionally, using playbooks to automate tasks eliminates repetitive tasks, allowing me to make changes on all servers at once instead of connecting to each one manually.
What do you dislike about the product?
Performance with very large inventories can be slow. Also, the learning curve for the Automation Controller is steep for small teams. The complicated part was setting up the Automation Controller and the dynamic inventories, which took several days.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform to automate server configuration, mass patching, and deployments, eliminating repetitive tasks. Before, we had to manually connect to each server, now we do it all at once with a playbook.

Powerful Linux Automation with Ansible and Fast Red Hat Support
Reviewed on Mar 20, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
The automation part is very useful in Ansible specially for Linux. Being a push based tool we can use this tool as frequently we require because now we can only push the updates when required. The Customer Support is also good since the tickets from Red Hat are replied very fast
What do you dislike about the product?
The Migration from old Ansible tower to the new Ansible version like AAP is very complex.
Since now the latest Ansible version runs on containerized Environment Engineers require to have knowledge on containerized envroinment like docker and podman

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Automation part is very usedful earlier with tools like chef was based on pull based becuase of which engineers had to wait for the pull to be executed.
But now with ansible once any update is available we can push the updates as and when required.

Automation has transformed server patching and has reduced months of work to minutes
Reviewed on Jan 25, 2026
Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is managing servers through automated deployment, automated management, security patching, and everything in between.
For automating deployments or security patching with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, we use it for Docker Swarm clusters. We install Docker and automate Docker deployment inside the Docker Swarm, checking which are the master nodes and which are the server nodes and connecting them to each other. All of these things are maintained by Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform.
I have around 100-200 servers that we need to maintain through security patching. We need to perform sudo apt update or install packages inside them and maintain those servers. For that, we use Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. We maintain an inventory file and execute everything from there.
What is most valuable?
The best features that Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform offers is that it does not require any additional resources inside the servers. Python is the only requirement, and since Python is already present inside the servers, we can run it from our location and it automatically deploys things and does the work for us.
The minimal requirements and easy deployment have definitely impacted my daily work and my team's efficiency. Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is one of the best features that we depend on. We have evaluated other options, but Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform was the best choice because it has saved us a tremendous amount of time. We do not need to manually intervene in the servers or install third-party software to maintain these things.
It is very easy to write playbooks for Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. Ansible Galaxy contains many playbooks that are readily available and ready to be used. It is highly configurable with Jinja templating, making it easy to maintain.
Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform has positively impacted my organization. Previously, we needed to go into the servers and maintain them manually, which used to take a lot of time. For 200 to 300 servers, the maintenance took about one to two months. New patches would arrive and we would have to repeat the process. Now, it is a one-night work or a 10 to 15 minutes task. We write a playbook, maintain an inventory, and roll out the updates and it starts working for us. Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform uses conditional clauses and has rollback options, functioning like a standard coding language that is simple to use.
There is definitely a reduction in errors with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform because we have playbooks written with all the necessary clauses and rollback options. Manual work automatically creates more errors, whereas in automation, we have written sets that we do not forget every time we run it. We have protected written sets that we execute consistently.
What needs improvement?
Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform could benefit from improvements in certain areas. Red Hat Tower is available for enhanced functionality, though it operates on a paid model. I found that acceptable.
Otherwise, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is very easy to use with Jinja templating capabilities that make it really straightforward. I do not believe there is anything that could be improved with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform that we have not already discussed.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform for the past eight years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
In my experience, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is very stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is highly scalable. We are currently using 200 servers and we are adding more servers each day. Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is easily maintainable and highly scalable.
How are customer service and support?
We are not using Ansible Tower for customer support, so we do not receive official support. However, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform has a large community with many written blogs and resources available, making it easy to maintain.
How would you rate customer service and support?
How was the initial setup?
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform was very simple. There is no pricing and no licensing required, as Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is always free to use. If you do not use Ansible Tower, then it is definitely free and easy to maintain. Writing playbooks is just like writing a simple Bash script or writing code with clauses and everything.
What was our ROI?
I have seen a return on investment with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. We need fewer employees and have saved significant time. The work that previously took two months now takes 10 to 15 minutes. Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is automated, so we do not need as many employees to perform manual work. We have fewer employees, which also results in cost savings.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform was very simple. There is no pricing and no licensing required, as Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is always free to use. If you do not use Ansible Tower, then it is definitely free.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, I evaluated other options such as Chef and Puppet, but I did not use them.
What other advice do I have?
The advice I would give to others looking into using Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is that it is one of the best Ansible management tools available for servers. You should start using it. Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform offers Jinja templating where you can write your own templates and NGINX configurations. It is very simple to use and you do not need any extra server or additional infrastructure. I give this product a rating of 9 out of 10.
