Overview

Ansible automation hub is a central repository to discover, download, and manage Ansible Content Collections—bundles of modules, plug-ins, roles, and documentation from Red Hat and our partners. Included with your Red Hat® Ansible Automation Platform subscription, the Ansible Content Collections found in automation hub helps teams automate new projects faster.

Ansible automation hub features Red Hat Ansible Certified Content—prebuilt, fully supported, and certified automation content from Red Hat and many of our 60+ partners, including Cisco, Microsoft, CyberArk, Dynatrace, and ServiceNow. It also includes validated content–prebuilt playbooks and roles that you can use, customize, and learn from.

Private automation hub is an on-premise repository that allows enterprises with disconnected environments to manage, share, and curate content generated internally and control access to Red Hat and partner-created content.
