Red Hat makes Ansible the execution layer for agentic AI systems

"In order to use agents or in order to use AI in IT operations, all of your systems need to be interconnected and what interconnects all of your systems is an automation platform. Interconnecting systems is only a piece of the puzzle though. There is also some well-founded concern about the autonomous AI systems we are moving towards. AI agents may make decisions and inferences, but enterprises remain hesitant to allow direct execution on production systems."

Red Hat is evolving Ansible to support agentic AI systems by introducing ephemeral MCP servers and expanded generative AI capabilities. The platform functions as a trusted execution layer, allowing AI agents to make autonomous decisions while Ansible manages actual infrastructure changes. Successful AI agent deployment requires two elements: interconnected systems and trusted execution capabilities. Ansible interconnects enterprise systems and provides the established, trusted execution layer organizations need for safe production deployment. The Red Hat and Cisco partnership deepens with integrated solutions spanning AI infrastructure, edge computing, and network automation, with Cisco's global price list now including Red Hat's software stack across multiple product lines.
