The Ansible design reduced the need for end users to log into Ansible Tower. To this end, Delta
used vRO customiza ons for onboarding new teams to vRealize Automa on and Ansible Tower,
which also sped up adop on of the pla orm. The cloud automa on team also developed reusable
Ansible Tower job templates u lized in SovLabs Tower profiles to reduce administra ve overhead.
The Final Result: Cloud Automa on
A er experimen ng with several different approaches, the Delta Cloud Automa on Team set up
the Ansible structure with one org and no team admins (Ac ve Directory drives team membership).
The topology is Tower clusters with three nodes per datacenter. The inventories were created on a
1:1 basis with vRA business units, with the business units created on a team-and-environment
strategy. Tower groups were created by vRA deployment name and component ID to group servers
into types such as app servers.
