Infrastructure Automation
Ansible, AWX/Tower, Terraform
Design and implementation of enterprise automation platforms that scale with your organization. From initial architecture through production deployment, I deliver automation solutions that your team can operate and extend.
Why Infrastructure Automation Matters
Manual infrastructure management does not scale. As organizations grow, the gap between what teams can manage manually and what the business requires widens. Every manual process becomes a bottleneck, a risk, and a source of inconsistency.
Infrastructure automation transforms operations by making complex tasks repeatable, auditable, and fast. When done correctly, automation reduces errors, improves security posture, and frees your team to focus on strategic work rather than routine maintenance.
However, automation done poorly creates new problems: brittle scripts that break unexpectedly, knowledge silos where only one person understands the code, and technical debt that accumulates faster than it can be addressed.
I bring fifteen years of experience operating automation at enterprise scale. I have seen what works in production and what fails when facing real-world complexity. Every solution I deliver is designed for maintainability, security, and operational reality.
What I Deliver
Comprehensive automation solutions tailored to enterprise requirements.
Ansible Platform Architecture
Design of enterprise-grade Ansible automation platforms including AWX or Ansible Automation Platform deployment, execution environment strategy, and integration with existing infrastructure.
- Platform architecture and design
- AWX/Tower deployment on Kubernetes
- High availability configuration
- Multi-tenant organization structure
Playbook and Role Development
Development of reusable, tested Ansible content that follows best practices and can be maintained by your team long-term.
- Custom playbook development
- Role library creation
- Molecule testing frameworks
- Collection development
Execution Environments
Custom execution environments that package the exact Python dependencies, Ansible collections, and tools your automation requires for consistent behavior across all environments.
- Custom EE design and build
- Dependency management
- Container registry integration
- Version control strategy
Terraform Infrastructure
Infrastructure as Code using Terraform for cloud and hybrid environments, enabling repeatable deployments and infrastructure version control.
- Multi-cloud architecture
- State management strategy
- Module development
- CI/CD integration
Integration and APIs
Connect your automation platform with existing enterprise systems including ServiceNow, secrets management, CMDB, and cloud providers.
- ServiceNow integration
- Vault/CyberArk integration
- Cloud provider connectivity
- Custom callback plugins
Migration and Modernization
Structured migration from legacy automation tools to modern platforms with minimal operational disruption.
- Legacy tool assessment
- Migration planning
- Parallel running strategy
- Knowledge transfer
How Engagements Work
A structured approach that ensures successful outcomes and lasting value.
Discovery and Assessment
We begin by understanding your current state, requirements, and constraints. This includes infrastructure audit, stakeholder interviews, and technical environment review.
Architecture and Planning
Based on discovery findings, I deliver a detailed proposal with architecture recommendations, implementation roadmap, and success criteria.
Implementation
Execution follows Infrastructure as Code practices with version control, testing, and staged deployments. Your team is involved throughout for knowledge transfer.
Training and Handoff
Every engagement concludes with comprehensive documentation, team training, and a transition period to ensure your organization can operate independently.
