Rekha Sivakolundhu [5] | Deepak Nanuru Yagamurthy [11]
Abstract: Large-scale enterprises face significant challenges in managing and maintaining complex IT infrastructures, especially with the growing adoption of cloud and containerized environments. Configuration management and rehydration processes, crucial for ensuring consistency and rapid recovery, are often time-consuming and error-prone when done manually. This case study explores the transformative impact of Ansible-powered automation on these processes within a large enterprise setting. By leveraging Ansible's agentless architecture, playbook flexibility, and integration capabilities, the organization was able to achieve significant improvements in efficiency, reliability, and scalability. We detail the specific challenges faced, the Ansible-based solutions implemented, and the quantitative results achieved, demonstrating the potential for Ansible to revolutionize configuration management and rehydration practices in modern enterprise IT. The lessons learned and best practices outlined in this study provide valuable insights for organizations seeking to streamline their IT operations and embrace the power of automation.
