Agilent TechnologiesAgilent Technologies Brings Cloud Operations onto Red Hat
Agilent Technologies, a health care organization in the United States, uses Ansible Automation from Red Hat to support platform operations for infrastructure and application teams.
Agilent Technologies folded Ansible Automation into platform operations so infrastructure and application teams share one view of cloud landing zones.
“Inside Agilent Technologies, platform operations used to depend on whoever still had the latest file.”
“Infrastructure and application teams needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.”

| Capability | Named workflow replaces ad hoc routing for cloud landing zones |
| Capability | Platform operations stays visible to adjacent teams through Ansible Automation |
Story
Inside Agilent Technologies, platform operations used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in health care groups working out of the United States. Infrastructure and application teams needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Agilent Technologies uses Ansible Automation from Red Hat as the working layer for cloud landing zones. Red Hat, an IBM company, provides enterprise open source platforms, including RHEL, OpenShift, and Ansible, for hybrid cloud. The practical change is simple: platform operations has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Agilent Technologies gets from Red Hat is a durable place to run platform operations and a way for infrastructure and application teams to see the same cloud landing zones at the same time.
