Product description

Dell EMC OpenManage Ansible Modules allows data center and IT administrators to use RedHat Ansible to automate

and orchestrate the configuration, deployment, and update of Dell EMC PowerEdge Servers and modular infrastructure

by leveraging the management automation capabilities in-built into the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC),

OpenManage Enterprise and OpenManage Enterprise Modular.

OpenManage Ansible Modules simplifies and automates provisioning, deployment, and updates of PowerEdge servers and

modular infrastructure. It allows system administrators and software developers to introduce the physical infrastructure

provisioning into their software provisioning stack, integrate with existing DevOps pipelines and manage their infrastructure

using version-controlled playbooks, server configuration profiles, and templates in line with the Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC)

principles.
