AAP Guides

AAP Guides are organized into two types. Each answers a different question for IT leaders and practitioners evaluating or deploying Ansible Automation Platform.

Solution Guide

Solution Guides

Show AAP plus a partner solving a specific operational problem -- integrated reference architectures, not platform setup alone.

Who they are for
IT directors, operations leaders, and architects evaluating how Ansible fits a specific business problem.
What they cover
Partner-focused reference architectures that show how Ansible Automation Platform solves a measurable operational challenge -- often alongside Splunk, ServiceNow, IBM Instana, Azure, or other technologies your organization already runs.
What you get
A clear problem statement, business outcomes (such as lower MTTR or less manual triage), architecture diagrams, and a path from pilot to production.
Examples
AIOps automation with Ansible, automated incident remediation with IBM Instana, AIOps with Splunk and Event-Driven Ansible.

Implementation Guide

Implementation Guides

Show how -- the platform configuration that makes those outcomes reliable in production.

Who they are for
Platform owners, infrastructure leads, and senior automation engineers responsible for deploying and operating AAP in production.
What they cover
How to configure Ansible Automation Platform for reliability, performance, and scale -- high availability, disaster recovery, database tuning, developer tooling, and platform hardening patterns that apply regardless of which integrations you adopt later.
What you get
Architecture decisions, prerequisites, step-by-step walkthroughs, validation tests, and troubleshooting guidance you can hand to an implementation team.
Examples
AAP HA/DR on OpenShift with CloudNativePG, PostgreSQL autovacuum tuning, AI infrastructure automation with Ansible.

Solution Guide categories

Solution Guides are grouped into categories by domain: AIOps and Network automation. All categories use the same guide framework, validation expectations, and maturity path structure. Within a category, one guide may carry a Foundational badge -- start there before partner integrations (today: AIOps automation with Ansible, including six operational use cases and Crawl/Walk/Run).
