"Version 2.7 of the Ansible Automation Platform adds a technology preview of an orchestration engine for AI agents that are able to invoke capabilities via an integrated Model Context Protocol (MCP) server."
"The overall goal is to make new and existing libraries of automation playbooks available to AI agents in a way that can be governed using a set of policies enforced via the Red Hat Ansible Automation platform, he added."
"As part of that effort, the Red Hat Ansible Automation platform can now serve as an OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication provider for HashiCorp Vault, which is provided by Red Hat's sister subsidiary of IBM. That capability makes it possible to issue short-lived, job-specific tokens for event-driven tasks to reduce potential risks."
"Red Hat announced that a version of its Red Hat Desktop tool for building applications now includes an instance of the Red Hat Podman tool for building and deploying containers that can be used to isolate AI agents in a sandbox environment."
Ansible Automation Platform 2.7 extends IT automation capabilities to AI agents and simplifies building AI agents using existing application development tools. A technology preview adds an orchestration engine for AI agents that can invoke capabilities through an integrated Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. The platform provides a trusted execution layer so AI agents can automate IT operations while making automation playbooks available under policy governance. The platform can also act as an OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication provider for HashiCorp Vault, enabling short-lived, job-specific tokens for event-driven tasks to reduce risk. Red Hat Desktop now includes Podman for container isolation in a sandbox environment. Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite adds Trusted Libraries and AI tools to assess whether vulnerabilities in generated code apply to a specific runtime. Red Hat Hardened Images provide more secure containers for cloud-native development, along with Technical Supportability Review capabilities.
