Ansible Consulting

Zwiegnet provides advanced Ansible consulting to automate configuration management, deployment, and orchestration across large-scale Linux and Unix environments. We help organizations achieve idempotent, repeatable, and auditable infrastructure automation with Ansible and Ansible AWX/Tower.

Our Ansible services include:

• Playbook & Role Development – Custom playbooks, reusable roles (Ansible Galaxy or private), best-practice structure, and Jinja2 templating.
• Inventory & Dynamic Inventory – Static/dynamic inventory design, integration with CMDB, cloud providers (AWS, Azure), or custom scripts.
• Security & Vault – Ansible Vault for secrets management, encrypted variables, integration with HashiCorp Vault or CyberArk.
• Performance Optimization – Serial/fork tuning, strategy selection (free, linear), pipelining, async tasks, and caching (fact caching).
• Idempotency & Testing – Molecule testing, linting (ansible-lint), and ensuring safe, repeatable executions.
• Integration – CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI), API usage, callback plugins, and custom modules/filters in Python.
• AWX/Tower Deployment – Installation, clustering, RBAC, job templates, surveys, and workflow design.
• High-Scale Automation – Managing thousands of hosts, rolling updates, delegation, and orchestration of complex multi-tier deployments.
• Migration Assistance – Transition from legacy scripts, Puppet, Chef, or manual processes to Ansible automation.
• Troubleshooting & Support – Debugging failed tasks, connection issues, variable precedence problems, and performance bottlenecks.

Ansible simplifies infrastructure as code — we help you implement it effectively for configuration, deployment, patching, compliance, and day-to-day operations.
