Additional Information

For additional insights and guidance:

  • Discover the unique Ansible project types within the C2 Platform approach by visiting Ansible Projects .
  • RWS adopts an “open, unless” policy, leading to the GIS Platform’s Execution Environment (EE) being included in the GitLab Open Source Program. This enables access to GitLab Ultimate .
  • Distinguish Between Ansible Engineering and Operations: Ansible engineering and operations should be treated as distinct disciplines to promote high-quality, maintainable automation. This separation ensures that engineering focuses on building scalable, reusable code, while operations handles deployment, monitoring, and day-to-day execution.
