Automate and test once and allow all users access to deploy Ansible Jobs. - **enforce policy**: Ansible ensures every device has the same config. # Features show cased - Push button deployment For description of these and other features of the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform please refer to the [features README](../features.md) # Guide 1. Verify rtr1 config ssh to rtr1 from the workshop bastion and perform a ***show run*** on the router. Verify that there is no VTY ACL on the router. 2. Login to Ansible Platform UX 3. Navigate to **Templates** ![job templates](../../images/templates.png) 4. Click the rocket next to **Cisco IOS VTY ACL config audit/remediation** to launch the Job ![rocket launch](../../images/rocket.png) 5. The job will launch and update the VTY ACL on rtr1. 6. What is happening: - Job has started executed in the background. The user can navigate off this page and the job will continue to execute. - On the left is the **Job Details Pane** labeled simply with **DETAILS**. This information is logged and tells you who, what, when and how. - **who** - who launched the job, in this example is the admin user - **what** - the project and Ansible Playbook used, and which credential to login to the infrastructure - **when** - time stamps for start, end and duration of the job run. - **how** - the job status (pass, fail), enviornment and execution node - The larger window on the right is the **Standard Out Pane**. This provides the same console output the user would be used to on the command-line for troubleshooting purposes. Some important takeways to showcase are: - aggregate info is at the top including the amount of Plays, tasks, hosts and time duration. - this pane can be expanded to take up entire browser window - Ansible Playbook can be downloaded for troubleshooting purposes - **click on task output** to show them task-by-task JSON output that can be used for troubleshooting or just getting additional information 7. ssh to rtr1 and verify the VTY ACL has been changed. --- You have finished this demo.
