Integrating Red Hat Ansible with Cloud Suite / PAS

The integration between Red Hat Ansible and Cloud Suite / Privileged Access Service allows organizations to securely manage and retrieve credentials, as well as enforce access controls, within Ansible automation workflows. Integration helps organizations enforce least privilege access, monitor privileged activities, and centralize the management of credentials within the automation ecosystem.

Cloud Suite / Privileged Access Service integrates with Ansible using playbooks and roles:

  • Dynamic Credential Retrieval: Ansible can retrieve credentials from and Delinea Privileged Access Service during the execution of playbooks and automation tasks. This eliminates the need to store credentials directly in the automation code or expose them in configuration files.

  • Credential Injection: Ansible can dynamically inject the retrieved credentials into the relevant tasks and configurations within playbooks. This ensures that sensitive credentials are securely accessed without exposing them in plain text or hardcoding them.

  • Access Controls and Permissions: Delinea Privileged Access Service controls and role-based access policies extend to the integration with Ansible. Organizations can define granular permissions for credential access, ensuring that only authorized users and processes can retrieve and use specific credentials within the automation workflows.

  • Privileged Session Monitoring: Delinea Privileged Access Service privileged session monitoring capabilities allow organizations to monitor and record privileged sessions initiated by Ansible. This helps ensure accountability and provides an audit trail for privileged activities performed during automation workflows.

  • Password Vaulting and Rotation: Delinea Privileged Access Service password vaulting capabilities can be leveraged within the integration with Ansible. Organizations can securely store and manage privileged account passwords and automate password rotation processes to enhance security.
