Ansible Automation Platform Integration in Self Service

Hi!

I’m looking for an out of the box integration of AAP to import/install in the Self Service, to get inventories, credentials, job templates, … from our AAP, to be able to launch job templates from Self Service (and retrieve the result of jobs :)). 

This way I can automate some tasks, like post-provisioning tasks after VM deployment or some day2 actions.

Regards,

Fred

Hi

Nutanix Self-Service is a whole automation ecosystem just like AAD or VMWare Aria automation. 
if you want to do end-to-end provisioning all you have to do is develop a blueprint in Self-Service. No need to integrate with other automation platforms cause it doesn’t make sense. Self-Service will manage the pre-create tasks, the VM creation in any provider and all the post creation tasks plus any day2 operations you want to put into the life cycle of that VM

Hope I was helpful

Thank you for the answer.

But we already have a lot of automation in AAP, so we want to take advantage of it and reuse all the playbooks and roles we already have.

Well I do know that Self-Service has an ansible ready made application but I don’t have any experience on that. I should also say that you can use AAP API from within a Self-Service, so you can wrap your automation using NSS. Let’s hope someone here, with more experience in AAP and NSS can help you more…

cheers
